why you don't matter
Original essayWe all have sense of self, an identity that we are known for, but in reality the sense of self doesn't actually exist.
Your perception and thoughts of the world are born from the environment you are now in and the environment you grew up in as a child.

When you die, people remember who you were to them or what you were to other humans, but not what you were to yourself. The concept of 'you' doesn't matter.
Most people are so in this self-love drama that they forget that to love others is to love yourself.
What you are to others is what truly matters, not for the sake of being remembered, but because that's what makes you into who you are.
You are what you are to your people, period.
