Amor fati has been crucial in my journey. Embracing and loving every aspect of life, even the suffering, has helped me find beauty in existence. It's not easy, but it's transformative.

I've found that channeling nihilistic feelings into art has been incredibly therapeutic. Creating something meaningful out of the void gives me a sense of purpose and helps me connect with others who might be feeling the same way.

I've struggled with nihilistic thoughts for years. Nietzsche's idea of creating our own values has been a game-changer for me. It's empowering to realize that we can be the authors of our own meaning.
