Friends, romans, people who are nonbinary except at work, lend me your ears,
every so often i remember how awesome the modern interconnected multicultural world is. i grew up getting to hear fairy tales from all over the world. africa, asia, europe, america. everywhere in between. i can have bagels for breakfast, curry for lunch, and ramen for dinner without even leaving the city limits. music and art and philosophy and technology that originated thousands of miles and years apart from eachother have come together and interwoven into something greater than the sum of its parts. its hard not fall into despair when thinking about the horrors but god. god the wonders.
Humans really “persist” huh. We’re persistence predators, we live till our bodies fail us, we follow, stalk, push. We fail we try again. We record our stories, histories, so words persist beyond that. We leave traces and marks, foot prints, fingerprints, mark our world with every touch. We befoul our world, turn on ourselves, wage war and famine, but we persist. Perhaps nothing can kill humanity huh? Not even ourselves
