The Beauty of the Absurd

“Life is meaningless. But when we become aware of that meaninglessness and create meaning ourselves, we trulyexist.” — Albert Camus

Most people spend their lives searching for meaning — in success, love, or belief.But Camus tells us a simple, uncomfortable truth: life itself has no built-in meaning.

That realization could lead us to despair, yet Camus saw it as liberation.When nothing outside us can give meaning, we become free to create our own.

The absurd, then, is not the end of hope — it’s the beginning of self-authorship.Each time we choose to love, to create, to endure, despite the void,we are quietly declaring, “I exist, and that is enough.”

Meaning is not something we find.It’s something we make — moment by moment, choice by choice.
