Stars and Coffee
It strikes me at random times, reminders that no one really knows anything. It strikes me while paying for coffee, watching a sunset, eating breakfast. The greatest minds one thought the world was flat. Our brains are constructed in a completely impractical way. We have organs that have no purpose, but can kill us if they burst. The blue of the ocean is just a reflection of the sky. Love can be replicated in a laboratory. The most remembered people are the ones who left scars or the world, instead of those who left stitches. Us humans are just tiny beings living, loving, laughing, crying, singing under millions of dead stars, our lives are a relative millisecond in time. It terrifies me.
