A day after my birthday, 34 years now. Is time alive an accomplishment? Evolutionarily it only counts if I reproduce, or maybe help others pass on their genes. Individual time doesn't mark much for the history or future of mankind. For humanity though, we can impact the lives of others greatly through innovation, compassion, technology, etc.
I wonder what my ultimate legacy will entail. A few laughs and smiles here and there. No empire to speak of, only love of my fellow man and a zeal for other people's works of art.
I suspect I'll slip away from history like most average humans, never to have their stories told again once time replaces them in this world. I'm okay with that. Seems fitting my story matches that of most souls lost in a universe we never planned on living in to begin with.
