I've had a long week, this week. I decided to write a little short story / poem / inspirational speech for this wise post. Enjoy!
There's exactly 7,302,803,376 people on the planet, and most of us have the audacity to think we matter.
But if we could see the stars..
If we could see the context of the universe in which we exist..
And we could see how small each one of us is.
Now there's 7,302,806,095 people on Earth.
We are getting even smaller, yet we're every age at once like russian nesting dolls.
I walk outside my own house only to get called creepy or awkward.
I push the bullies away, for every second they are getting smaller.
I log onto the DSGHQ, smiling like there are fishhooks are in the corners of my mouth.
My heart is a colored pencil
But my brain is an eraser
I'm laughing and people are calling me crazy.
And I'm lucky.
We're all lucky. We live in a world where history has already happened.
You live in a world where you have electronic devices in your pocket, and they are worthless compared to the power of your brain.
You are intelligent.
You can now look through a telescope and see the stars. All 300 billion of them.
You have potential.
And you're lucky for that.
7,302,807,934 people on Earth.
I have the audacity to think I matter.
I know it's not true but I prefer it to the alternative!
The best part is... you matter. If you have the audacity to think you matter, you matter. You are just as lucky, if not luckier than me. If you believe.
