It's a Miracle That You're Here at All

When the days get dark and the universe feels like it's against you, consider what it took to make you.

Your parents had to meet. And stay together long enough to have you. And all your ancestors had to do the same. Exponentially backwards. To the start of life.

Civilizations crumbled. Hearts broke. People died. Oceans froze. All of it had to happen in exactly the right sequence for your eyes to open this morning.

The universe is not against you. It went through a lot just to give you a chance.

No pressure though.

You don't have to be perfect.

Just don't waste it.

Your life is not a mistake.

It's a miracle.
