Irrelevant in any case, since your worldview doesn't even remotely resemble hedonism. It makes explicitly contradictory statements to the fundamental assertion of hedonism.
Your worldview is a form of subjective amoral absurdism. The colloquial term for that is nonsense.
I discover my own personal truth from looking within my own inner universe and seeing if there is any real good value, joy, and beauty being perceived in my life or not. If it is truly empty and nothing but empty words, then I conclude that my life is empty. But when I have my positive emotions, that is when my inner universe is filled with joy, good value, etc. That is what leads me to conclude that my positive emotions themselves are what bring my life the real good values and not my thinking. I do not listen to the views of others who would tell me that the good life comes about through non hedonistic endeavors, self sacrifice, being the miserable artist, and I do not listen to Rocky Balboa's famous quote either. This is because I do not care about and do not adhere to the personal views and opinions of others. As a matter of fact, there are so many people out there in this world with false opinions and worldviews that I do not even bother with them. That is how I have discovered the personal truth within and, from there, concluded that the rest of humanity are wrong in their definition of a good life.
