Awareness is finding the Truth, which inspires, frees, gives new Strength, energy, and Joy. Did that happen for you?)) No? Why?
Because your “awareness” was not awareness, but delusion. It is correct to say that I did not realize the meaninglessness of life, but AGREED that life is meaningless. That is, I agreed with the untruth, for which I pay with depression and apathy.
Everything has a meaning of life, even a dung worm, an infusoria, etc. To say that a person does not have the meaning of life is to personally lower yourself below these very worms and ciliates. If someone likes to do this , it's their choice. Stupid, wrong, but his.
It's a good question that often comes up in my mind. I think there are two productive options: 1) doubt and look for meaning 2) forget about it and start creating a decent life, despite the negative.
When a person is aware of his nature, his innate desires and properties, he does not need to look for answers to the questions: Why do I live? and what is the meaning of my life? “he already knows them. The meaning of life is to know oneself, to reveal the unconscious, which a person does not even know about. When the desires of the sound vector are satisfied, life becomes joyful and meaningful. Apathy goes away, there is energy, a desire for life, there are forces to realize their desires. The lack of sound is not a lack of desire, it is a lack of meaning that a person cannot find in the material world, does not know how to realize himself in society, at work, and in his own life, too. The sound vector is dominant, which means that if the desires in this vector are not filled, then all the others cease to be felt and bring joy. The sound engineer wants to comprehend, that is, to justify sensually, his life, to find the meaning of existence. If he fails to do this, the background sense of meaninglessness gradually dulls other impressions. Any condition goes to increase, so after a while a person becomes completely immune to the joy of life.
Try to change the environment and dramatically change the course of your life, communicate more with optimists and successful people, and then I think you will find new goals and develop.
Did you realize that? Ha-ha. How can you realize anything if you can be wrong? Make mistakes always and in everything. Make mistakes even in what seems obvious and extremely clear. But this is exactly what it seems. However, everything is not what it seems. Everything is not what it seems! Don't forget that.
Spend the “age of survival” in things that are pleasant to the mind and heart. That is simple-to live in a buzz and not worry about anything. Like me, for example.

Like what? Be happy, of course!
