No. I guess I'm just a bit depressed at the lack of constants in nihilism. I was raised in a Christian society that made me value those objective constants like god, morality, the after life, and nihilism is just sorta empty by definition. Morality is great, but it's only worth is to humanity, whose worth is only worthwhile to humanity, so I'm left feeling a bit disconnected. Of course that's only one of the many reasons I feel disconnected these days. Ugh.
