      Still trying.
      Nietzsche huh?

      I think we can still find our own purpose and direction in life. The world is not as absurd as Nietzsche claimed: we can fall in love, write poetry, do calculus and countless other remarkable things. Most importantly, we can choose what to value and thus choose our purpose in life.

      For me, my purpose is a moral one. I want to leave the world a better place than it would've been had I not been born.

        Maybe Nietzsche would argue that love and art are absurd human constructs, and mathematics, although opening are eyes to the universe, also reduces it to a blueprint that makes it no less absurd, maybe even more so.

        Or maybe he wouldnt. I doubt i can answer for him.

        I think sometimes focusing on meaning can distract you from truth and experience.
