In this video, I talk about how I had to completely restart my story and how optimistic nihilism helped me keep going. Honestly, it felt pretty crushing at first, but once I accepted that nothing has to have a big, deep meaning, I was able to let go of all the pressure.

Starting over doesn’t mean I failed—it’s just part of the process. I share how this mindset keeps me moving forward, even when things don’t go as planned. If you're a writer or creator dealing with setbacks, this might help you push through too!
