Do you even REALIZE how much world there is to explore? How many beautiful places my feet have never walked? How many stories told at campfires?

People create more heart wrenching art, moving prose, life-altering scientific insights, and blow-milk-out-your-nose jokes. And we will keep creating those things that make life worth living.

Until I have smelled every flower, studied every blade of grass, laughed and shared recipes with every single person with kindness in their heart, I will not have lived long enough.

And each day, there are more. Even if I had eternity, I would never be able to catch up.

Maybe a day will come when the world feels too heavy and I grow weary of experiencing the novelty of beauty and kindness and awe. But that infinity is so so far away from the starting point that I cannot fathom sinking into despair.
