I'd really like to know your thoughts PLEASE. This was the longest year of my life. I'm 19, turning 20 in 6 days. I feel like I've never had such a long year before! It feels like I should be 25 by now!
Does that mean my 19th year was very boring or does that mean it was very dramatic?
If you felt that your year was very very long, why would you feel this way?
Please don't type "It depends"... I need concrete answers.
Thanks. π₯Ίπ₯Ί

I believe that our deepest concern is not that it feels very long, but the emptiness it had. Because if all was meaningful and full of personal trajectory to the things we love, we wouldn't be bothered if a year feels like a decade, in fact, that would be so much preferable.
In the presence of meaning, time is not a problem. The question is what's the meaning? where we can find one? and the answer is just to look around, is there anything in life that attracts our heart? even for the nihilists, such attraction can still clearly exist even if it's so small. It might be a person, a desire to fix something, or a weird dream of collecting butterfly wings. And that spark is the light we need to pursue, even if it's a dying little spark. But why bother? because positive emotions will bloom along the way towards it. Next question is, why the hell should we care about positive feelings if the sun will engulf us in 10 billion years? because it's better to be a flower in this world full of suffering than a living corpse. But better how? well, you will feel good, your eyes will cast light, and others who are feeling down will look up to you and feel inspired to take another step against the horror of existence. And you will be the cause for the great forest that once was a dying seed. And that's enough.
You can even still condemn life while doing it. Be an anti-natalist, be a vegan, pet stray cats, feed birds β create your meaning against the darkness, and the light will be inevitable. I don't need to prove this, and you shouldn't look for proof to give it a try. Try it in uncertainty and doubts, and see how meaning offers a higher reality we thought didn't exist.
