I JUST READ THE BEST FUCKING BOOK OF, POSSIBLY, MY ENTIRE LIFE AND YOU NEED TOO ALSO. If your reading this it means you have a internet connection and 30 min. to read this life changing 10 page book that is FREE on amazon. Ill give a little spinet of one of my favorite parts but the book is full of amazing. The writer is Johnny B Truant, an epic writer, and from what i read, person in life.
"Everything dies. Everything. You were born with a terminal disease, just like everything else that has ever existed. You, your lamp, the sun, and the Bee Gees all have that in common.
This, like the universe's apathy, is neither good nor bad. It is simply a fact.
But this fact -- the immutable, inevitable, impossibly obvious fact we will die as surely as we were born -- is something we all deny for most of our lives. You'd think we're never going to die, the way we cower and second-guess and fret over each little action. We act like what we do today will forever alter the flow of creation, of time, of space. Every move is vital. Each little event could upset the delicate balance. Everything is of paramount importance. We can't do things differently, because the system, however imperfect, works and is extremely delicate. We might upset it by thinking outside the box.
We have to weigh every decision, because a butterfly flapping its wings in Nova Scotia could cause a hurricane in Guam. Or, as Homer Simpson taught us, if you kill a mosquito in dinosaur times, Ned Flanders might become the unquestioned lord and master of the universe.
We can't do something that might make us look ridiculous, because first impressions last forever.
We can't try and fail, because then we'll be ruined forever.
Think a scar (or a tattoo, for that matter) is permanent? It's not. Your body was literally formed from stardust and will eventually return there. The duration of a scar doesn't even register on the big time line. In fact, I heard that God watches jewelry commercials and LOL's when they say that diamonds are forever. It's all a big joke up there. There's a drinking game in Heaven, where angels do a shot every time humans invest "for the long term."
What are you so fucking worried about?
You are here now. Eventually, you will be gone. You have but a nanosecond on the universal clock to do whatever it is you're going to do. When that time is gone, it's gone. Forever.
That means that although what you do doesn't matter to the universe, it should matter one hell of a lot to YOU."
