A decade earlier, a century earlier, a millennium earlier, someone just like you stood right where you are and felt a very similar thing, struggling with the very same thoughts. They had no idea that you would exist, but you know that they did. And a century from now, someone will be in your exact same position once more. Embrace this power, this sense of being a part of a larger whole. It is an exhilarating thought. Let it envelope you. We’re all just humans doing the best we can. We’re all just trying to survive, and in the process, inch the world forward a little bit.
