"Is life a loop? Is the ultimate truth to just be in the moment and await every new reincarnation in glee and not terror?

The permanent void postmortem cannot possibly be real. We awake as a new being a microsecond after our passing. Eternal recurrence must be it. But I'm upset that there is no true long-term, we're dust in comparison to everything. Can we escape? I want to be me, I want to retain my memory. I do not want to become an extraterrestrial after my time is up and continue to partake in this cycle of nonsense. We're meant to transcend all, become great systematic architects of existence, not live as simple animals and die on an impromptu moment ad infinitum.

Why does it have to be so tiring? Tell me how to continue."

Help me out, guys. It's been quite stressful. I'm relatively comfortable materialistically, not rich or anything, but my head does not give me a break.
