>little me reading philosophy changed my life
Yeah, that's already obvious enough, but looking at how much it has impacted me, it really fucked me up, not that I'm truly mad about it though, it's more so I felt that the "magical side" of life was a lie to me. Especially as someone who's never been exposed to this kind of understanding. It's quite depressing, really.
Maybe it's because I already knew what I was in for, but because of how much I hid the truth through superficial beliefs and misconceptions, it allowed me to "enjoy" life.
I do acknowledge other philosophies such as existentialism. Wherein we focus on creating our own 'meaning' in life, rather than seeking guidance from other religious beliefs. But the very notion of forging your own path tires me. I'm not physically tired nor do I feel mentally strained, it's more so like my mind is just tired of the repetition of things. A part of me wants to reach, but I worry about the strain it causes when I do. Despite this, I try to maintain a somewhat positive attitude in life, as despite all of this, I'd continue trying to beat this crisis. Because at times, whenever I do something that goes beyond instincts and truly requires thought, my whole demeanor and immediate belief as a whole would change.
But even still, I feel like I'm in a limbo, where everything's stuck in monotone, and I'm always stuck on deciding. And the only times I do ever feel alive is when I make do conscious thoughts into actions or when adrenaline pumps into my whole body.
I try to seek more understanding from Philosophy, but I feel like I'm reading and imposing ideas to myself rather than actually finding a way to help myself.
>I do acknowledge that this maybe a part of the process in changing to become more accustomed with myself.
