+## Reflection
 After diving deeper into philosophy as a subject in the following years, I've found strong alignments with some elements of
 [stoicism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Stoicism) and especially the ideas of [existentialism](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Existentialism).
 In particular, with [Frankl's 'self-transcendence'](https://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/document?repid=rep1&type=pdf&doi=4e860812b971281fd3d34e8456751190f8e03773),
 [Nietzsche's 'become who you are'](https://psyche.co/ideas/when-nietzsche-said-become-who-you-are-this-is-what-he-meant),
 [Arendt's 'vita activa'](https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Human_Condition_(Arendt_book)), [Yalom's 'rippling effect'](https://youtu.be/R8NrPOkk_B4),

 I've come to see, though, that it's each person's freedom and responsibility to seek their own path, not something defined by universal truths.
 No one can choose for me, and I can't choose for them.

+1. I'm now aware that what I put together represents my search for terrestrial meaning in the absence of cosmic meaning –
 an attempt to grasp a purpose, sense of direction in a universe that is silent and indifferent. 
 Meaning only begins when humans arrive: to feel it, question and interpret it, care about it.

-*Thirdly*, while I'm drawn to introspection and "lasting contributions", I recognise the limits of past- and future-oriented ways of living.
+1. While I'm drawn to introspection and "lasting contributions", I recognise the limits of past- and future-oriented ways of living.
 As such, I place great importance on staying grounded in the present moment – finding joy and connection in the simple, everyday here-and-now.
 Appreciating that life is, rather than how it is or how it should be.

 As such, it basically reads as my life goal: *"Use your passion for learning to add value to your own and others' lives."*
