Correlations with positive, hopeful moods:
- Goals
- Gratitude
- Meaning and sense of purpose
Those seem important in fending off existential dread and feelings of wanting to die, but I don’t care anymore.
My interests and viewpoints change so often that it can be difficult to keep goals. Aiming for the same thing day after day becomes undesirable. In addition, I find it difficult to take a perspective even if it once seemed to make me feel better. It’s just that: another perspective, seemingly trading one illusion for another.
But maybe these are excuses–excuses to stay unhappy. Regardless, there’s more to life than happiness.
