The universe is huge. That doesn’t make you meaningless. It makes the people who love you more remarkable.

REFLECTION

WHAT THIS MEANS

Scale often gets used as an argument against mattering: the universe is vast, so you must be nothing. The logic slips there. Size has no opinion about significance one way or the other. If anything the rarity cuts the other way, because in all that cold and empty space a few people decided to care about you specifically, which is a far stranger result than a big sky.

Rather than arguing yourself into feeling important, go be specific with one of those people. Tell them something you would miss about them. Smallness and being loved stay true at the same time.

A QUESTION TO SIT WITH

Who chose to love you out of all possible people?
