1 in 100 quintillion

I just made that number up. But I had a thought I wanted to share, that may have crossed your mind before.

The chances of you being born are slim. But what's even more slim is the fact that you're not born as a mosquito, a plant or a cute porcupine. You are born as a human being. A human being with internet power, a brain, a human who is capable of creating things never created before.

But here I am, scrolling on social media. Complaining about what I could have been instead of just taking action. Imagining what life would be like if ''I just started playing piano and went to the gym more often''. How proud would I be?

Note to self & people who relate:

Perhaps you consider this a strong take but I think it is insulting to your ancestors, to all the species on earth who wished to be in your position but instead you decide to eat oreos while scrolling on Instagram to fap to next hot girl you saw.

270+ generations for you to sit here today, but instead you're on 9gag or Battle.net

It's time to stop insulting your previous generations, and do something useful
