Have you ever stared at your phone, half a coffee gone cold, and thought: “Why am I even doing this?”
Yeah, me too.
In this series, I’m exploring big existential questions—but with a twist. What if some of these questions already have answers? What if we’re just too distracted, or too skeptical, to notice?
So let’s laugh at my ignorance together. Because it turns out, this one—this aching search for meaning—might already be solved.
I found a solution in Logotherapy by Viktor Frankl (1946), which shows that meaning emerges when we choose to create, love, or find an attitude in hardship.
My Next Step: Pick one tiny project—cook a daring recipe, call a friend, or scribble a quick poem. Journal three honest lines each night on how it made you feel.
If Viktor Frankl says it works, then I better try and learn from one of the greatest minds. Perhaps we can learn together.
