An Absolute Truth


okay. whew. okay.

I've been down and out, y'all. This past couple of weeks I was NOT myself. I still am, technically, no longer the "myself " that I used to be, but during the past weeks I truly felt wrong and unnatural. I underwent some dramatic changes, grappled with some of the more essential questions humans grapple with in their life, lost and gained the will to live several times, and perhaps most importantly to me, lost the will to create.

It is so rare for me to feel that way--in fact, this may be the first time I ever did feel that way. I hope it is the last. Thankfully, I have recovered with the help of my friends, my determination, and the internet (thank the internet for everything).

I'm not going to talk about this for too much longer, I've since resolved to go out and get shit done rather than mope about trying to answer a question that may forever be truly unanswerable, and must instead be filled in with the marshmallowy caresses of personal belief. However, I do have one takeaway from the experience, one absolute truth, and I'd like to throw this out there for anyone who has ever been struggling with the tiny problem of the purpose of their existence:

You matter.

I don't know how, I don't know why, but I know that you do. You don't have to believe that the universe has a purpose, but you must believe that you have a place in the universe.
It's not much but it's a hell of a start.

My next post will be talking about my upcoming projects and stuff! yaaaay!
