You're here.
You're here, and you're probably not going to be a billionaire.
You're probably not going to be a rock star or a movie star or any kind of star at all.
Your Wikipedia page may never exist.
And that's okay.

@Daojoan salmon sashimi? Any side dishes?
How very true indeed.
@Daojoan Nihilism is futile!
@Daojoan Impossible. I've already made plans.
@Daojoan "You're not paralyzed by the fear of failure or the need to prove yourself. You can experiment, play, explore. You can do things for their own sake rather than for external validation. The people who actually do end up making lasting contributions are often the ones who were just deeply engaged with something they found fascinating, not the folks trying to cement their legacy."
So true. Terrific piece.
@Daojoan teach me to be one
@Daojoan very enjoyable article, to the point 😃
@Daojoan "...At some point, even MC Hammer will be forgotten...." 😂❤
Thanks for writing this.
@Daojoan That is an exceedingly fine essay.
@Daojoan Like most things, I am definitely insignificant in the cosmic scheme of things. But I'm mostly happy to be an infinitesimal byproduct of a universe that itself might be only a miniscule part of a larger, quite possibly infinite space beyond the cosmic horizon.
It's more than okay. I think it's good
@Daojoan The freedom one gets from being insignificant is priceless.
