    I wasn’t burdened by the curse that is awareness before I was born, and hence now as a result of this awareness, I am scared.

      We are not cursed to know, we are blessed! We are a fantastic arrangement of atoms that so happen to be arranged into people instead of rocks!

      We are, at the end of the day, infinitely small chunks of the Universe able to see, experince, know, and look back into ourselves!

      I may be hammered, and the world is in an especially frightening place at the moment, but damn is it good to have my atoms arranged into a person instead of a tree

        I did not choose to be here and I resent that there are expectations put upon me when I wasn’t the reason I am here now.

        I also resent that I was born just to die one day.

        It is also fundamentally horrifying that so many people are born into painful awful experiences and then die, with that being more or less mostly all they knew while alive. And that some people live happy lives on its own doesn’t justify the horror in my eyes at all.

        That said, I wish I could be drunk right now but I’m at work.
