Less than a drop in an ocean
than a molecule
than a single explosive atom
in an ocean
in an abyss
in a universe.
More than a landmass for a billion bacteria
a colossal energy machine
a life-giving, life-taking sun
a universe
an abyss
Just enough to be
human.

i think about how insane it is that life exists, that emotions and identity exist, et cetera. how everything that led to the people on earth today is both a total coincidence and some kind of extreme precision
and it’s like, how can you ever feel like a failure? stars collapsed so you could be here. whatever you are is already more than enough
