… can’t sleep. Future will eat me.

“People say they’re trying to ‘make their mark on the world’ before they die - that’s another kind of silly thing to say. You can’t make your mark on the WORLD unless you’ve got a bulldozer or know the secret of making crop circles when no one’s looking.

I figure if you’re going to leave your mark, you should leave it with people rather than inanimate things.

Leave it by the words you say, or the things you do. The good things, and the bad things. They go hand in hand. i do’t think there’s a ‘big mark’ you leave, so much as little ones, all over the place. here and there, people repeat something you said, because it was a good idea. Or you make them think something differently. Or you just loved them, is all.

All those little marks you leave, they’ll add up to a big one, someday. And in the meantime, you should just live your life the best you can with what you’ve got to work with, and call it good.

I guess that’s what I’d recommend. And while you’re at it, try not the take the world to seriously, because sooner or later you’re going to end up its punchline. And you can choose to be pissed off about it

-or you can choose instead, to laugh.”
