where are my don hertzfeldt heads at?
I think about this monologue from the end of World of Tomorow almost every day:
“Do not lose time on daily trivialities. Do not dwell on petty detail. For all of these things melt away, and drift apart within the obscure traffic of time. Live well, and live broadly. You are alive and living now. Now is the envy of all of the dead.”
I try to live well! To live broadly! We’re all here for such a small amount of time!
Few things hit as hard as some really good scifi writing.

Yeah I relate I think a lot of people can or at least I assume so because I also think it’s impossible to go through life and not see just how massive it is. How much we are forever to wonder about , apart from but humanity is obsessed with taming the world. I do think it’s strange to have the thoughts early, I was also about 9 or 8 when I really focused on death and how limited our time here is. What really got me was the suns death, the mention of all earth being consumed stuck in my head and I just couldn’t imagine there being a reason to live. No matter how acclaimed you are, how big your tomb, how long your name has been spoken you'll be consumed. I haven’t read Kant but I have read and discussed absurdism and that’s personally what gets me through. There is nothing written and the world is indifferent has become a mantra of comfort for me. I still struggle to accept some realities about death but with work I hope to get over it.

I think about after the end a lot. I wrote a screenplay about after the apocalypse and the earth is devolving back into primordial stew. I love the idea of destroying the world so thuroughly with science that magic emerges again.
I also think often of the end of what we understand as the universe. I wrote a piece of flash fiction about the moment before the last bit of energy is snuffed out, and a short script about life orbiting around the last light in the universe that I think has legs to be a feature.
I don't know what happens after. But I choose to believe all death births something new.

Things seem to pass us by every day, one thing after the next, with any information at our fingertips
It’s time to be more honest with ourselves and those around us. Time will pass by, and the unknown is scary.
One thing I can’t do is lie about who I am and what I am doing. I hope my intentional persistence can ground those around me, even if it is awkward for me
It’s hard being alive, but being alive is the best part.
