"People say that what we’re all seeking is a meaning for life. I don’t think that’s what we’re really seeking. I think that what we’re seeking is an experience of being alive, so that our life experiences on the purely physical plane will have resonances with our own innermost being and reality, so that we actually feel the rapture of being alive."

This is 💯 true

I don't care about meaning at all. I think life is just a serendipitous accident and you don't need a "why" or a "what"

I just want my physical existence to resonate with my inner self. I want to be able to live as who I really am
