You Will Die. Nobody Will Care.

You Will Die. Nobody Will Care. While you read this, someone died. In a few weeks, most of the people around them are more or less back to normal. That is not cruelty. That is just the schedule, and everybody is on it. This video takes you all the way down. Your size. Your time. Your stuff. The people you love. Even the self you have spent your whole life defending. And then it shows you the thing waiting at the bottom that almost nobody gets far enough down to find. Because here is the turn nobody expects. You are a piece of the universe that woke up, borrowed some stardust, and got a ticket to watch the whole thing for one impossibly short moment. None of it lasts. That was never the deal. And the second you stop needing it to last is the second you can finally have it. Not despair. The opposite. Watch to the end.
