rant follows. stop reading here.

i suffer from depression and it influences my decisions and actions. when i feel angry or overwhelming sadness i remind myself: the universe is 14 billion years old, and will suffer a massive heat death in 22 billion years → nothing i say or do will change this. no one knew me before i was born. no one will remember me after i'm gone. knowing this makes me calm and peaceful and helps me to stay grounded and just be a kind and fair person.
