In almost every sense, we are quite lucky. I mean we're talking about one out of idk endless sperm cells and god knows how many egg cells and then how our DNA form and hell we probably was threaten by an unknown twin during the womb period and then we surivived into labor and then life itself is full of death sentences because it's a cruel CRUEL world out there. Give me that weed bro!

You've realized by now that everything in life is futile, because you'll eventually die. You can either roll in despair and await your inevitable death, or appreciate life before it ends. By appreciating life I don't mean to go after your dreams of achieving high academic education levels, get a high salary job, get a perfect body, or form many relationships. All of these are so pointless to me. We go through all this effort for nothing. By appreciating life, I mean to realize how tiny you are in this universe. Realize how people your age are dying everyday, and how you can die at any moment as well. Therefore, do what you want, not what society or family expects you to be. Sure, 'what you want' may involve the societal system 'graduate, get a job, form a family, have kids', but be aware that these are insignificant in the grand scheme of things.
Note: Know that if you choose to 'roll in despair and await your inevitable death', there is nothing wrong with that. There is no right or wrong way to live life. Morality, norms and values are a human concept. We are a product of a cosmic accident, and we are not here for any purpose. Might as well just wait for death rather than going through a lot of effort and trying to survive in a world that will eventually end in million of years as well.

I agree with this. This is how I view life and am not ashamed of it

Our existence is not a result of pure luck, chance or coincidence. It is an inevitability. We don't particulary exist due to very specific circumstances. We exist because our fate is already determined. At least, that's what our current scientific knowledge seems to suggest.
