the existing individual

I am down the rabbit hole of existentialism. So, I just wanted to share this quote (because someone out there agrees with me):

In his reflection, Søren Kierkegaard deliberately focused on his own life, making it the subject of philosophical contemplation. He believed that the only true philosophy stems from life – a view that Friedrich Nietzsche later shared and expanded upon. Kierkegaard maintained that the only life we truly know is our own experience. … Operating with general concepts and categories, thoughts inevitably simplify and schematize everything. Therefore, no philosophy, reasoning, or language can fully express the truth of human existence, which is something unique and unrepeatable. So, the truth about existence can only be accessible through inner experience.

Exploring Søren Kierkegaard: Pursuing Authenticity and Existential Freedom

And, I would add, everything else is a leap of faith.
