Isn’t that absurdism?
Meaning is relative. My life doesn’t matter, but it matters to me.
Nibbler: “What is one life, compared to the entire universe?”
Fry: “But it was my life!”
So choose absurdism. Is nihilism without the suicide.
You don’t have to kill yourself to be a nihilist, it just doesn’t matter if you do.
“I’m a human being god damnit. My life has value.”
… Until it doesn’t. It obviously doesn’t matter in the end, but I am here until that moment.
What’s the difference between absurdism and positive nihilism?
The difference is Camus.
Optimistic nihilism!

Yeah thank you for that
