You will be forgotten

Everything you have done, all the impressions you have made, all the effort you put into it, it doesn't matter as much as you would like to believe it does.

The overtime hours you spent your energy on to gratify your employer, the time you spent overthinking, the time you worried about how others would percieve you. What would happen to all of that in, say, 100 years from now?

The time you worried excessively about the small and almost irrelevant things in your life, all the effort you put into building your perfect, dreamlike life. It will be forgotten. And so will you. You will be forgotten.

That's okay, a lot of these things are beyond your control anyway, I can't stop worrying because I tell myself not to, it's not that easy to mend our brains to our liking. There is only so much we can control. But we can at least take some comfort in the fact that, we will be forgotten along with everything we have done and the things we possess.

That's good.
