When someone’s screwed by life to the point where futility and hopelessness become undeniable realities, I believe it’s possible to alchemize all that disappointment and pain, the shattered idealism, and not only use them to strip perception down to the clearest it’s ever been, but also to internalize the most empowering realization in all of existence:  “If nothing matters, then I might as well get to work on what makes me happy, whether it pans out or not.”
