Just realized nihilism is quite literally the truth, but in a good way. Hear me out. We are infinite experience and awareness, and there really is no overarching goal to achieve other than the ones we create for ourself. Nihilism simply means there is no INTRINSIC meaning to life, it doesn't mean there can't be meaning. We literally create our own meaning since man is a microcosm of God. The answer is to stop delegating spirituality to other humans or a higher power, stop passing the responsibility of creating meaning onto another party. All religions have wisdom in them, and you can be Buddhist, Christian, whatever you want, but ultimately when you turn to God for meaning and hope, you are turning to yourself. Recognize this, be still and aware and you will know God to be yourself.

Every post ITT is me including OP. Part of my realization, I realized post-posting, ofcourse, has to do with my insatiable desire to consume cocks. I thought that if I could rationalize my obsessive desire to drain cum from huge penises all day as a self-imposed meaning of life derived from some type of God of Cocks, I could cope better with being a sex fiend.

You're just spreading Freemason propaganda bullshit. Good and evil are absolute. Spenta Mainyu has intrinsic goodness whereas Angra Mainyu has intrinsic evil.

Gathas, Yasna 30:

[to us] through dream.
In mind, in speech, and even in deed they are better and bad:
The good choose between them correctly, not the evil."

So I did. But I think that thought I used the same root word I was speaking of an entirely different concept. When I say that a word 'means' something, I mean to say that it signifies something i.e. denotes a concept and a description of the concept.
The best idea I have of what 'meaning' means in the OP post is that there is some 'ought', such as 'I ought to pursue happiness'. I think looking at it this way is highly uncharitable to existentialism however, since it is devilishly hard to demonstrate that one 'ought' to do something.

I think you could make perfect sense of OP's post by using the same definition you used - that life is not merely a set of phenomena occurring in chronological succession but also refers to something else beyond itself. Just like a word is not just its sounds, but means something, so would life ideally not just be a collection of experiences, but will also mean something.

OP here again, sorry I was out for a while. A cute black guy approached me at a public restroom and whipped out the biggest BBC I've ever seen. I swear that thing was more a tentacle than a penis, I simply couldn't go home without pleasing that beauty.

Anything, it can be anything. In the middle ages it was a gift from God that you are meant to devote to God - be you a farmer, conqueror, merchant or artisan. In Antiquity it was similar, but with more flexibility - for example, in the case of Roman Emperors, you could be god. Typically, the meaning of a life comprised both its sacred and profane aspects.
I can tell you that even if you don't have a precise definition, you will definitely get a feel for meaning if you have experienced it at least once. Without meaning, life feels pointless and you don't want to do anything, you seek ease, comfort, perhaps death. With meaning, nothing else matters other than the source of meaning.

I formed my own moral and metaphysical views with time, but my reaction to nihilism was initially considerably worse than OP's. I think OP's already in the intermediary phase and as you can see, he's not throwing the baby out with the bathwater - he's still open to spirituality, he's just approaching it freely. It's a good mindset. Early on, unless you already have mystical experiences, a lot of that stuff can feel like vague cope and yet another surrogate for the popular-theistic conception of God. Better let him figure things out himself at his own pace.
