“A hundred times I thought of killing myself, but I still clung to life. That ridiculous weakness is perhaps one of our most fateful traits, because is there anything more ridiculous than wanting to continue to carry a load you always want to throw off? To despise and yet to feel attached to yourself? In short, to nurse the snake that is gnawing at you until it has eaten away your heart?”

“Absurdism is a philosophy centered on embracing the meaninglessness of life while simultaneously rebelling against it and embracing what life can offer us.
Camus is most famously attributed with this statement “Life is meaningless.”
While that quote may seem depressing on its own, it changes when we realize that what he is really saying is that we are the creators of meaning in our lives.
Meaning does not originate from life, we assign meaning to life and everything within it.
We get to make it up.”
