Thank you for asking this!!! Been obsessed with outer space since I was a little kid, so I’d do it in a heartbeat BUT only under one condition: if I’m going up there, I’d request to be part of a mission (big or small, doesn’t matter) that would either be conducting research to help future space missions, gather data about earth’s changing climate or help us understand more about other planets in the solar system.
Why?
Every space launch done in the history of humanity has required massive amounts of fuel and water to get the rocket successfully out of the Earth’s atmosphere. It’s necessary, but it’s unfortunately also expensive af and not the most environmentally friendly thing to do.
Even if I’m about to RIP very soon, I can’t in good conscience do more damage to this earth right as I’m about to leave it if I’m not at least doing something nice for the future of human kind in exchange.
So I might as well go out with a bang and do some good while I’m at it 🚀 ✍️ 🔭

how boring would it be to know everything? we will NEVER know everything. and that is so damn exciting. there are endless things to learn and wonder about.
when you have the bandwidth to take in that reality (which we will never always have- it will always wax & wane long with everything else) the world becomes an insanely wondrous place. and if it was wonderful and inspiring everyday, it would be so damn boring.
all & all- THERE IS SO MUCH TO WONDER ABOUT and that's pretty cool🕶️

I often find myself overthinking about our existence and the purpose of our living and how we will never be able to truly understand such complex concepts, which is just so disappointing. I always think a really insane superpower would be the ability to answer every single question, which would mean you would know everything there is to know about the universe.
But I think your brain would explode.

I adore finding a random video from like 2005 and reading through the comments the way a historian would examine an old manuscript from the 1700s. Are these people still active YouTube users? Or are they forgotten accounts? What did @jjlwis mean by "awww im gonna miss rob too!!!" ? Who even is Rob?? Anthropology in the digital age... so many questions... it's fascinating.
The important thing for me is not to add new comments. I feel like I'm disturbing an old archeological dig site and my sticky modern commentary will make the video crumble away into oblivion. More importantly, I don't want the algorithm to suggest the video to a bunch of people who will spam the comments section– major yuck 🤢

early 80s to early 2000s truck models are the perfect sizes imo. current trucks are transformer-sized behemoths that could easily crush normal vehicles into smithereens upon impact and i legit don’t know how those things are even street-legal. also, idk if it’s their design, reliability or the nostalgia factor per-se, but there’s a certain sazón those older trucks have that newer ones don’t.

with social media being this pervasive entity that has weeded its way into our daily routines for the past 20ish years (plus a global pandemic that really solidified those habits), many young adults today have spent a large amount of their lives living online. it has become the new norm and i’m not gonna pretend i’m above any of this because it’s so easy to fall into it (i am literally writing this rec on my phone whilst it’s a perfectly sunny day that i should probably go out to enjoy).
with that being said, in the larger scheme of life, being in your 20s is still in a weird way the beginning stages of your life. it’s a period to try new things, make mistakes, learn from them and develop an identity that’s independent from the environment and people who raised you. though you can learn to do some of those things online, they don’t hold a candle to actually experiencing those things for yourself in real life.
all in all, the best way to not sleep thru your 20s is to prioritize in-person experiences that allow you to get a better understanding of yourself and your values. whether that be getting your first tattoo, moving to a new city or country, exploring your personal style or taking up hobbies you couldn’t or would‘ve never done as a kid, this is an important formative time to venture out and get a sense of who you truly are.
