I have decided to try to intellectualise my tendency to take the p**s. That way it’s not just me being silly because it all got to dull or repetitive. Instead I am now framing it as my shift from nihilism to absurdism.

There is a tendency to take the all of it all very seriously, to treat everything as deep, to feel it is all pointless, that we are screaming into the void, killing ourselves to achieve pointless goals. And that is all true, but f**k it. It’s all stupid so why not be stupid too. Why not play and enjoy it. Why not step back.

We get very wrapt up in our little human games and assigning labels and categories to things. We act like we should be fully capable of handling and processing everything. We can’t. We fail. We get mad, get sad. F**k it.

Mess with people’s world view, mess with their view of it all being real, of it all being serious. Mess with our own world view. What we think we know. It will consume us otherwise.

It is easier to connect when we let all that drop away. When we see it is all silly, and we are silly, and can be silly together.

When you embrace the absurd you learn to make your life play.

Laugh, explore, play.
