I've spoken to others about this, and I thank those who did and those who offered to listen to me. But I want to bring up a topic that has been happening to me a lot for some time now. Do you ever get existential crisis'? Like you question what your role in life is or what life is? That happens to me a lot (and yes to those I've spoken to, I've tried to think about it less. It's only happened every couple of days now). It's just really weird. I just realise that whatever I do in this world/universe it doesn't matter because sooner or later the universe will cease to exist. (Collapse on itself, humanity will end etc.). Problem is ever since I realize it, its a reoccrring theme that goes on in my head. Kinda weird I know but I was just wondering if any of you guys have had this problem and if so, how do you deal with it?
I don't want to bring religion into this and talk about afterlife and such. But won't everything cease to exist? Like, everything? It doesn't really motivate me to do anything. Obviously we should make the most out of our life because we live such a short one. But is there really an end to this "bucket list"? Might just me being greedy but I want to do so many things in this world! So much that it's impossible to do it in a lifetime. School is also weird. We spend around 20% of our lives preparing for life itself. Doesn' that seem like too much? Not to mention then you have to get a job, and the only time you'll fully be able to relax is in retirement. That's just not enough time and it's depressing. And there's the risk of everything you have in life going down the drain due to anything, and how do you get back on your feet? To me, it seems really hard to get on your feet in the first place in this time and age.
