But is this to be feared or rejoiced?

Perhaps it is that loneliness that will keep us company, in the end. The universe is vast, and our individual stories matter so little; and yet here we are, discussing them and thinking about them. Perhaps they will outlive us for a thousand years, and perhaps not. But for me - knowing that there one day come a day when my obligations will fade with my memories, my sense of self and sense of paranoia will finally die down - that is calming, somehow. I think it's an unusual perspective, or at least I've never met anyone who shares it in quite the same way - though there are still perhaps seven billion people I've yet to meet, hah.

On the other hand, you cover well the fear you can feel from this, and at the same time show that it - or more accurately the melancholic realization it brings - is both genuine and objective, perhaps one of the few things that is.

Life is strange, isn't it?..

For now, at least, you are not dead, and you are not alone.
