How do you all make your life feel meaningful? I am 42 single living with parents. No children no great achievements. I wanted to do more but feel life life never got started because mental illness got in the way. I cant save money because I spend when I feel bad which is often. I'm tired of feeling like lofe is going nowhere.
You have to "create" a meaning. Simple, but not easy. Sometimes imagination won't cut it, sometimes you have to go out (I know!) & find it. It's almost impossible for meaning to find you, because not many things have inherent meaning; they just exist. (My opinion of course)
defo zen buddhist thinking there (the very last sentence).......
I didn't want to go full Nietzsche, but mixed a bit of Albert Camus in, that I read recently. Heavy stuff.
