what do you do when you find out none of it means anything? - Lemmy.world

What if you were raised for a certain type of “world” and that world doesn’t exist anymore? The people you loved are strangers now, everything you know decays and turns to unrecognisable pieces of shit, the career path you’ve been on for the past 10 years gets yanked out from underneath you without a warning, your health is no more at 30 and the person you loved, married, is not able to emphasize. Maybe he is but he’s also super burnt out. You’re a stranger, alone, without anything to wake up to, anything to look up to. The ideals that you supposedly have don’t mean shit in the capitalist dystopia. You never hoped things to stay the same but everything changed in a way that you would never be able to guess. You’re literally here to kill time until the moment you die. None of it meant anything. Nothing you ever worked for fruited. None of it helped. And maybe you’re at fault for depending so much on these things but also, what else is there? What do you do?
