Currently writing a poem on existentialism called "Existential State of Mind"---that's the tenative title anyway. Coming soon!
Epiphany: Albert Camus was an existentialist! I completely forgot! "The Stranger" is a fantastic, yet slightly morbid novel. It will impact you. Read it.
"What I really lack is to be clear in my mind what I am to do, not what I am to know, except in so far as a certain knowledge must precede every action. The thing is to understand myself, to see what God really wishes me to do: the thing is to find a truth which is true for me, to find the idea for which I can live and die. ... I certainly do not deny that I still recognize an imperative of knowledge and that through it one can work upon men, but it must be taken up into my life, and that is what I now recognize as the most important thing."
—Søren Kierkegaard
