I look up โ many people feel small because theyโre small and the Universe is big โ but I feel big, because my atoms came from those stars. Thereโs a level of connectivity. Thatโs really what you want in life, you want to feel connected, you want to feel relevant, you want to feel like a participant in the goings on of activities and events around you.
