What motivates you to do what you do?

For me, there is a certain person in my life and I do not want to be like them, so I am spurred on to do what I do to not end up like them.

Like a rat swimming frantically in water, I am spurred on to move not because of something positive but something negative, drowning.

I move because if I don’t I start thinking I can’t. So I get up as soon the spirit moves me to. This is only trouble when others have plans that interfere with mine.

I enjoy reading about philosophy, and Absurdism in particular has caught my eye.

I basically believe that since life has no objective meaning, simply living and getting up in the morning is a form of a rebellion against the universe. Every second I’m alive is me giving a big middle finger in my eyes. And that is what allows me to do what I do.

I remember what bliss felt like. I’m trying to recapture that.

I don’t understand how simply living and getting up in the morning is a form of a rebellion against the universe?

I am not a troll. I don’t think I’m the best at describing the philosophy of absurdism, but I’d recommend reading into it if you’d like to understand more. It makes sense to me in my own weird way. 乁(ツ)ㄏ
