Optimistic Nihilism, is quite a good philosophical framework. But I would recommend a mixture of optimistic nihilism and stoicism. If nothing has any inherent meaning, the things you chose to be meaningful are as valid as any other choice.

If you take nihilism far enough, you loop back around to absurdism instead. And that’s where things go from “why bother? Nothing matters so what is the point” to “why not? Nothing matters so I might as well enjoy life.”
