@dampmemes Life is how you make it. Perception is reality, and if that is how your perceive the world to be, it will always be that way. Ignorance is weakness. You may be blissfully unaware of what is around you, but how often that will come biting you in the ass. Knowledge is power. You gain footing and a sense of being. The more open you are to the world, the more enlightened your mind and body become. There is always a better life outside your room.
If you want meaning to your life, actually try. If you don't, keep thinking how useless your life is as well as others and cry about it. Those who have a good life work hard to keep it that way. Most don't wake up everyday feeling fantastic and ready to go. They want to, and so they make it happen.
Creativity causes the opposite. It creates a rainbow of emotion. A world without music, paintings, colors, writing...etc. would be dull. Might as well just live in a padded cell if you think creativity is depressing. Probably where you ought to be right now.
