I know it’s a bit late to say this, but I just finished watching The Dinosaurs narrated by Morgan Freeman, and it ruined me in the most humane way possible.

People often say it’s hard to watch documentaries like this if you’re an empath, and now I understand why. It wasn’t just educational; it felt like witnessing lives unfold, struggle, and disappear. I found myself crying in front of my aunt while watching the asteroid strike the Earth—not just because of the destruction, but because of what it meant. Entire lives, entire stories, gone in an instant.

What struck me the most was how similar we are to these creatures. At the end of everything, they were simply trying to survive in a world governed by a relentless cycle, the food chain, the need to live another day. There was something deeply human in the way they moved, protected, and endured.

I cried for the Rhynchosaurus, starving not because it failed, but because the earth had changed its landscape, making it harder for them to survive. I cried for the mother Edmontosaurus, who tried to shield her young, as if her body could protect them from something that was already taking everything away, only for them to lie there together in the end. I cried for the sauropods enormous, ancient, and powerless as the earth tore itself apart beneath them, their bodies collapsing under a force they could not fight, could not escape, and could not even understand. The ground they had lived on their entire lives gave way, and there was nothing they could do but fall. And I cried for the ones who ran the ones who survived just long enough to feel fear, to search for safety, to hope there was somewhere left only to realize there wasn’t.

The evidence was always there, waiting for paleontologists, for archaeologists, for anyone willing to look closely enough.

Buried beneath layers of time, the Earth kept its memories in silence. Fossils, fragments, traces of lives that once existed millions of years ago—left behind not as answers, but as echoes.

A footprint pressed into stone. A bone where something once stood. A mark across the surface, as if something had passed through and never returned.

It feels like a haunting narrative that never truly ended.

Because what we uncover are not just remains, but stories of creatures that lived without knowing they would one day become evidence of a world long gone.

And even now, as we continue to search, it doesn’t feel like we are discovering them.

It feels like they are being remembered.

It made me realize how both beautiful and cruel life is. It can be taken away so suddenly, so easily—and yet, even in its ending, something new begins. That is what made the final transition so powerful: the image of dinosaurs running, shifting into birds. It was not just an ending but a continuation of life.

Through Morgan Freeman’s narration, their story was told not only with gravity but with quiet hope. Because even when their world ended, ours was just beginning.

And maybe that’s what stayed with me the most that while they were living their final moments, they didn’t know it was the end.

They were still trying to survive.

And somehow, that makes it hurt even more.

Video games and moments that made me feel 💔

"This is a present from a small distant world, a token of our sounds, our science, our images, our music, our thoughts, and our feelings. We are attempting to survive our time so we may live into yours. We hope someday, having solved the problems we face, to join a community of galactic civilizations. This record represents our hope and our determination, and our good will in a vast and awesome universe."
