we are literally on a rock orbiting a star in space
the “you are here” meme makes me remember how minuscule my human problems are on a grander scale
it’s a humbling & silly reminder that even when we feel like our personal world is so small & are problems are earth-shattering, we are not the center of the universe !

“From this distant vantage point, the Earth might not seem of particular interest. But for us, it's different. Consider again that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives. The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every "superstar," every "supreme leader," every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam.”

making an effort to remember someone’s name upon first meeting says a lot about one’s character & interpersonal skills !
(it often makes the other person feel good & Seen ~)
it seems insignificant, but meeting new people and remembering their names is truly so special.
if we have the privilege to grow old, this will be something we won’t get to experience as often, due to less interactions with strangers & a declining memory.
in a day & age with so much noise and thoughts and distractions, remembering another human’s name seems like the least we can do to help sustain connection and humanity.
