The alternative branching out of every decision we make shooting off into multi alternate realities, to me, seems infinitely impossible.

There would be an unlimited amount of "other" selfs.

I believe that we are on this earth for a short time. And while it is nice and comforting thinking there is nothing afterlife think about this...

Where were we before we were born?

If there is an afterlife, surely there must be a pre-life. What would that even be explained as?

Death - easy. Heaven or Hell, or exploring the universe as a wandering spirit or reincarnation - which does solve the pre-life dilemma, but at some point you would have to be a new soul.

The population of the earth is about 8 billion now. There were not 8 billion people A.D.

So I'm "taking my time on my ride" (twenty one pilots).

Life is to be enjoyed. Life is to be lived.

We are all dealing with some serious pain and illness, but we have to take a step back and realize - this is all we get.

You need to try your best to make the most of your life... nay, it is essential.

Even in the worse situations, there is a glimmer of light. Grab onto that glimmer and pull yourself to a better place.
