Self Note

There are times when I find myself thinking that I might be Sisyphus in the real world. Getting used to failure makes me see this world a little more pessimistically. A life that seems to lack inherent meaning grants me the liberty to interpret it as I wish. This is what drives me to live a more genuine life, sailing through the ebbs and flows of life without seeking escapist beliefs. Reflecting on what remains unchanged.

Much like Sisyphus, happiness can be found within the process itself, even when the main goal remains unattainable. There are so many things beyond our control; it’s impossible to expect that life will go exactly as we’ve planned. Yet, life actually presents numerous moments of happiness along its path. Many times, we belittle life by narrowing down its meaning, as if life is all about doing well and having fun, forgetting the fact that sadness and failure are also parts of life.

Everything I’ve written so far are actually messages to myself. The one who finally accomplishes what he truly desires. Perhaps this might come across as mundane to some of you, but isn’t life worthy of celebration?

In a world full of uncertainty, we stumbled and fell, facing the absurdity of life. Thus, through our own consciousness, we shall create our own values and determine a meaning for our lives.

‘L’existence précède l’essence.’

Here’s for more to come, cheers.
