You ever feel small? Not like being short but like small in the big picture. Small as in "my 80-ish year, tiny slice of the human experience is only 1/100,000,000,000th of the whole of human existence across 200,000 generations."
So many people, stories, experiences that are lost forever to the void of time. So much that I can never know, so little that I can experience.
This keeps me up at night, ruins my days. I can't stop thinking about it and feeling sorrow.

>>382815 The knowledge that nothing you do will likely mean anything in the grand scheme can either be cripplingly depressing or exhilaratingly freeing. Your pain has no purpose, but neither do your mistakes have any real consequence. Your failures will be forgotten. 7.4 billion people on this planet and you'll only ever meet a few of them, and be really known by far fewer. So take the leap and live the life you want to live without regret or hesitation. Make your will a reality.

It has 2 sides op because knowing this can be a great thing,sadly many people feel special but in the grand sceme of we are near to nothing. But even so everyone is something.

>>382815 It doesn't matter if you're small in the "grand scheme of things". What really matters is being big in the lives of the people you love. c:

Everything in life that has any bearing is experienced through people's perception. The things that matter most are not the universe-scale feats that none of us are capable of, but rather the things you do to make individual people remember you and what you did for them. Nobody really remembers the person who foregos personal interactions with the belief that they don't matter. They are the only thing that matters.

Humans need to stop breeding. Having the conscious awareness of how small we are in the greater scheme of the cosmos is an unfair and painful burden to have to bear.

so look for the ones you can experience now, and enjoy them. there's so much out there you'll never know, and so much out there you have yet to discover.

Always try to create something beautiful. Someone out there will like it. Even if it may not be recognized in your lifetime. Some of the greats were only well known for there work after their death. So take as much time as you can doing something that may be awesome in the future.. It may be possible you will find success quickly if you keep having perseverance.
