Everything matters. Just because you cant see or feel dont foist it on those of us who can

No, it does not. The universe does not exist for a reason, and neither do you. It just is. Trying to find a true meaning is futile.

Maybe to you halfblind darkness lovers. I live in a world of light where everything is apparent to any who want it to be. No faith needed to excuse the shadows that the light draws on the earth

The fact that there isn't meaning is liberating. It means I am free to do whatever I like, because the universe doesn't care. Even though, the universe is full of wonder and beauty, but it just is. It exists for no reason? I think that makes it even more wonderful

You're conflating subjective and objective. Just because things subjectively matter to you (they also subjectively matter to most nihilists as well) doesn't mean they objectively matter. That's where the distinction lies.

Needs clarification - nothing intrinsically matters. But things do matter to people.
