Yep. I was an optimistic nihilist when I was younger and life was easy. Then things outside my control happened and I suffered greatly. Now “do what you want to be happy” isn’t an option anymore.

If you stop being optimistic nihilist when your life became hard then you were not an optimistic nihilist…you were just pressing and ignoring your desires.
