Images like this make me remember how insignificant I am, but then I think that, out of all the people in all the places, out of all the lifeforms wherever they are, isn't is pretty remarkable that I am me?
Now. Here. This. is an amazing musical that played at the Vineyard Theatre in New York. If you like musical theatre - which I do, and many of my friends do - this is one you need to check out. Heck, if you like musical theatre, you've already heard the whole OCR for this a thousand times. But if you want to contemplate your existence through the magic of song, you need to listen to this.
There is a song in Now. Here. This. that discusses how incredibly lucky we are, to be who we are, where we are, and how so many things had to go right in the universe in order for us to be here today. That makes me feel enormously significant. That makes me feel like I need to do more with the life I've been given.
I guess what I'm getting at is that I have a personal belief I am here for a reason. It's hard to remember that sometimes. I get frustrated a lot. I have to do a lot of things that I don't like to do. There are many things that are difficult for me, and there are many times when I need to begrudgingly ask for help. But at the end of the day, I've been giving this remarkable chance at this amazing thing called life.
And for that I am grateful.
