You know what? I am a failure but in a billion years it won't matter, nothing will

[Busticket]

I am a failure at life.
I have no gf and no degree.
But you know what?
I am a temporary failure because absolutely everything in the universe is temporary.
In a billion years nothing that happens right now will matter.
I will be long dead.
Anyone who I ever met or interacted with will be long dead.
Humanity itself will most likely be long gone.

Mate that's high expectation. Nothing matters now.

This is why i despise life (well, there are many reasons but this is the main one). It doesn't matter what we do or achieve in this life because none of it actually matters in the grand scheme of things.

If I was succesful and had a gf it would have depressed me maybe but because of how my life is it actually cheers me up because I know my shitty life is only temporary and in a billion years it will be as if I never lived in the first place.

Yes, I see death as making all life meaningless. To me, the moment we die is when it is like we have never existed. People might still remember us but we won't be there to see it. All of our problems are simply temporary and there is an end someday, but it still angers me that there is so much suffering simply for the sake of it.

in just 100 years, nothing happening now will have mattered. the generation will reset and all of us will be forgotten

Thanks for reminding me of this worldview. I used to think like this too, I don't know why I stopped. Sometimes I try to remember that in the end, our life is just so small on a scale, it doesn't matter. Time-wise and distance-wise. We can just as well try to survive, because why not? Even in 100 years in won't matter, let alone thousands and millions years.
Watch and listen to this, it's great description of your post:

I don't understand this line of thinking. Life would be just as pointless if it lasted forever, since permanence is no substitute for meaning.
