Existential Nihilism
My grade can be great
or terrible.
I could get into college
and be a lawyer or a teacher or whatever.
Or I couldn't get in
and work at a fast-food restaurant.
I could marry and have kids
or never marry and adopt or foster kids
or forever live alone.
I could die in three years.
It doesn't matter.
None of it matters.
The goddamn world is f***ing falling apart
and humanity isn't doing enough to stop it
and is instead
Actively making it worse
to the point
where we're probably going to be wiped out
in ten to twenty years anyway.
So nothing matters
except for me
for me right now.
And right now
I want to be happy.
