So, I have lived sixteen years now. And one of the most important things I have learned is that the Universe is big, and my life is not even a speck on a Universal, infinite time line, and this makes me feel so small, and insignificant. But another important thing I have learned is that no matter how small I or any one for that matter feel, we are all connected in a way which love is the bondage. The famous astrophysicist, Carl Sagan once said, "For small creatures such as we, the vastness is only bearable through love." So I would like to take the time to say thank you to all the people that have the made the vastness bearable by sharing their love. So many of the people in my life have really made an impact on my short years of existence; you have turned my feeling of insignificance into purpose and reason.
