For the confusion of this world


The universe isn't a part of anything bigger. Dwelling on that thought makes my heart completely empty and completely full at the same time. Is there any bigger tragedy in humans' lives than being able to understand the insignificance of everything? How utterly beautiful and brutal.

I walked through the pitch dark forest to the rocks and laid down on my back. Every time I'm facing the night sky like that, three hundred and sixty degrees, I think about the same things. I wish I could capture the moment when you can feel the vast emptiness around you and the fact that we can't see behind the universe. And give that thought to somebody. And get the same feeling from them. This is all you've got. You'll never know what it's about, but you can feel it, witness everything. I feel lucky to be able to see it even for a second. Don't live like it's the last day of your life, live like it's the first one. Seize everything. Breathe every moment like you've never breathed before.

This is all very lovable. We're waves. Every cell of our bodies, decluding the brain, renew on average every seven years. Cells in skeletal muscles renew on average every fifteen years and in non-epithelial intestinal tissue the average age of cells is sixteen years. People say everything we have is borrowed, and I talk about it physically. We were all stellar matter, once all our quarks united to form the nucleons in our bodies, and that's fucking great. We're, in its deepest meaning, a part of the universe. However, besides the lend of my atoms, the most thankful I am for the manner in which my atoms form my body, permitting a consciousness. The fact that I know I'm a wave. Makes me fucking pleased. EXQUISITE.
