Does it all even matter?

a famous philosophical saying says "It only matters if it matters" but is that true? Who decides what matters? Moreover, if it matters to me, does that automatically make it matter to other people who care about me too or are their matters separate? I've been doing a lot of thinking lately of what really matters in life, and a lot of things I thought mattered I guess really don't anymore. What are you supposed to do with your discarded matter? What happens to the things you used to care about in your life, where do they go? Do they just fall to the wayside and collect dust with other peoples discarded matters....?

What should matter in life? Should the things that we decide matter be weighted by importance, and if so, how is their importance to be weighted? How you decide who/what stays and what goes? Some of these things that used to be so important surely have strong feelings associated with them, how do you just cut them out and get rid of them?
