What do you keep living for? Is there a specific person, goal, or idea that you work for? Is there no meaning to life in your opinion?

Context: I’ve been reading Camus and Sartre, and thinking about how their ideas interact with hard determinism.

    I did this kind of self-exploration at one point. I used to find all my meaning through work, which I later realized was leaving me feeling unfulfilled. So I lowered my professional ambitions in favor of focusing on the relationships I had with close friends and family.

    Then I changed genders. And then those relationships got completely fucked up. And now I feel like I have nothing left to live for.

    So I guess if you’re looking for meaning, my advice would be to pick something that doesn’t depend on other people.
