Hi all you non-existent cats and cattesses out there.

Joyful nihilism is the embrace of defeat. More specifically, it is the embrace of the defeat of all of our unrealistic hopes and desires.

When they are burned away in the fire of honesty, then we can enjoy things as they actually are. We’re also nice and toasty.
