... and don't like the idea of being an insignificant little blip in the grandness of space and the massive magnitudes of time.....
​
Step outside on a clear night and look up. Talk about humility. You ARE an insignificant blip. Carl Sagan's "Pale Blue Dot" sums it up rather well. The best you can do is live this one life you know* you have the best you can.

I was just talking about procrastination for procrastination's sake. Think: lazy. Like how I am procrastinating right now about taking out my garbage.

See, most people who want to live forever assume that aging and such would be halted.
​
But what age would you eternally be? Do you get to pick? What if you are having a great time at 18 and think "maybe I'll wait until 21 or 25" then, you get to that age and realize 18 was better?
