You are very big.

You are the center of your very own universe.

And that's okay.

You are a consciousness inside a chunk of pink mass formally called a brain, and you are everything to you.

The same goes for every single creature on this planet.

You should not continue to obsessively put others before yourself, others who will not be around you forever.

You, speaking as if you are just a thought process after all, are alone within yourself. And that's how it will always be.

You will always have the privacy of yourself, your memories, your secrets, your thoughts, and your desires.

Spend your energy on learning about yourself, on coming to love and accept yourself.

Because this is not selfish.

This is necessary.

If I have learned anything about anything, it is to know yourself, to like yourself.

Because you will never go away.

If you do not like the you that you are, then everything else in your life will be horrible, because you feel horrible in yourself.

You will be constantly tormented by yourself, your actions, your thoughts.

You are the center of your own universe.

So craft a universe you adore, one with planetary variety, one with thousands of different species, one you can spend your entire eternity nestled within.
