  • It’s natural to feel this way sometimes, especially when things are getting rocky around the world.

    I feel like we often place the emphasis on the ‘why’ of ourselves, when the truth of things is the world is often chaotic and without particular intent.

    It’s a bit of a mindset shift, but if you find yourself engulfed with the prospect of needing purpose or justification to the point of debilitation, it might be time to start leaning into the idea that while you can give yourself meaning, nobody really has intrinsic purpose. None of us consented to existence before it was asserted onto us, nobody was born with a script.

    Regarding what your mother said, that’s really rough, and it’s only natural that you might feel some existential weirdness from it. I don’t know her, so I can’t really put what she said into context or understand, much less lessen that blow. Regardless, her opinion of you doesn’t determine your right or reason to exist, or what you do with yourself from here. I know just saying it doesn’t magically reprogram your brain, but given time you can readjust how you think about your existence. It’ll take a bit of practice and positive thinking, but you might start to see results sooner than you might think.










  • I quite like dark souls 2. I don’t think it’s objectively the best, but it keeps me coming back and it’s interesting. I’ve played so much dark souls 1 I can’t play it anymore, dark souls 3 never really was my cup of tea and wasn’t incredibly long to begin with. Elden ring is great, but the time commitment to a playthrough is kind of off-putting.

    Dark souls 2 seems like it’s the weird one that accidentally got a lot of stuff right to maintain a slow burn of interest from me over the years.
