Space.

Something I wrote about insignificance.

Space is one of the most interesting topics possible in my opinion.

It's the vast sea of stars and cosmos we don't know very much about.

There's something about the immense size of space that horryfies me, however.

The thought of how overwhelmingly small we are in comparison to it.

I mean hell, I've looked up at the empire state and felt a weird feeling of how small we really are.

Imagine the feeling multiplied by a million or so looking at earth from the moon.

We are ants.

We are insignificant. 

Now that may seem depressing, but we don't have to be physically large to be signifigant.

It's a fear I've always had, to die with no one remembering me.

Sure there will be family, for a generation or two who will along with some friends.

But if I dropped right now what would I be remembered for? 

I haven't made any huge discoveries, won no nobels, or any oscars I so obviously deserve.

Would I be remembered for the five or so posts I've made so far?

Completely possible but improbable.

I hope to leave a positive impact on the world.

Make it a tad bit better than the world we lived in when I was born.

That is how we as people get to be remembered.

That is how we earn the privledge of getting our stories written.

Now if you're thinking "Wow, making change is too much effort! What will I do?"

Just remember that being remembered isn't the most important thing.

The most important thing is making use of the time you have, not worrying about how you'll be seen when it's over.

If you still want to be remembered, the people who are remembered for generations make big waves.

Big discoveries in their field, new styles of music and art, new ways to view and perceive the world around us.

They innovate.

Not all of us get to be innovators and I think most of us have come to terms with that fact.

For those who persist and chose to be vain and want to be remembered:

For those who are fine with the average life and average end:

Do what you want with the gift of life, as long as you live it how you want to live it.
