    I’m sorry you felt empty at the end of the book. I liked the message at the end and took it as a reminder that life’s mysteries are what make life exciting.

        is that not freeing, in a way? all the mistakes I beat myself up over, in the end, will not matter. I find that to be kinda nice and it does give me some kind of peace.

        I guess I looked at the ending in a glass half full type of way, but you thinking it’s depressing is completely valid as well.

          I suppose it is, but as a nihilist and an atheist, I know this already. I guess I was expecting something different.
