the law of large numbers states that
for every action you take
a nearly infinite number of actions remain unfulfilled.
it would take until the heat death of the universe
to uncover all the ways
that you have failed to live up to your potential.
when your mind is choked with regrets,
late at night, wandering your unlit halls,
you are still stuck in contemplation
of less than one hundredth of one tenth of one percent
and of how much more beautiful your life could have been.

i am sorry. you are wrong.

you are the best choice of all possible worlds
because you are the only one
that decided to exist.

out of all the millions and billions and trillions of possibilities.

yours is the only course that coalesced into reality.

the only choice that matters.
