A Healthy Dose of Self-Doubt
The Unnecessary Line
Who are you?
Do you matter?
Yes, you!
I'll bet you matter.
I don't think that I do.
I have no legacy.
No one will plant a garden, erect a building, or even a small statue in my honor when I'm gone.
No one will remember my name in a hundred years.
I will NOT live on.
He had spaghetti to celebrate his birthday.
I will simply cease to exist...
Fade into nothingness.
I have nothing in my arsenal to change this ugly truth.
People, not knowing I’m gone, will go about their business.
I am as inconsequential as one can be.
And yet...
I matter to those who matter,
And that's enough for me.
