My main philosophy in life is a variant of optimistic nihilism.
What I mean by that, it that I make decisions in life based on the idea that when I am laying on my deathbed, I want to be able to reflect on my life and be satisfied. I believe that life is pointless and meaningless, but we are here anyways, so we might as well do what will make us satisfied when our lives come to an end.
