Feeling rather inconsequential at the moment.
I find that lately, people rarely talk to me unless I talk to them first. People rarely talk about me. It's as if I'm of no importance to anyone - as if I could fall off the face of the planet, and not many people would really care.

Not asking for vibes, just ranting. Sigh.

2. Just remember, you're not the only one.
In fact, looking at it geologic time, we're all equally insignificant. Or, to look at it in a glass-half-full way, we're all equally significant ... which is to say, not at all. Relatively speaking, we are all atoms in molecules in a mote of dust, swept under the great rug of All There Is.



Glad I could brighten your day! :hi:

3. All we are is dust in the wind, as some would say. Some from a 70s-era rock band.
:P

6. As a rule of thumb, rock bands with geographic names tend to suck.
I don't know what it is, but man ... Kansas, Europe, Asia, Berlin ... the list goes on. What is it with shitty bands named after places.

That said, as far as 80s power rock goes, Boston was pretty sweet.

18. Don't forget Chicago!
They were pretty cool. Or are. They're still together.

8. My husband thought that.

And then hundreds of people showed up at his funeral to prove him wrong. Only he didn't get to see that.
We don't get to decide the impact we have on others, and we usually far underestimate who we are and what we mean to others.

Please don't fall off the face of the earth.

14. I'm glad because you are one of my favorites.
:hug:

I'm okay... BabyG had strep, I ripped my plantar fascia-again-, you know the usual crap that gets in the way of attempting to have a life. :)

Never forget that I'm always in your corner, okay?

12. My dear lightningandsnow!
Aw, sweetie...

Sorry to hear you're feeling that way...

You are important to me, and to so many others here...

Wish I could hug you in person, but I can't...

Virtual hugs will have to do!

13. in the entire scheme of things
any one of us registers hardly a blip in geological time.

the only relevance any person has is the impact they make in other people's lives.
