i like to think of time as pages in a flipbook, each one having its own illustration that we see as part of one long, linear sequence
we perceive it as moving, but really all these moments exist at the same time, individually
it's important to me that i engage in this fantasy, or delusion, whatever you want to call it. it's become fairly crucial to my functioning in everyday life to know certain moments, even people, exist indefinitely and aren't erased completely after they're gone

Thats an interesting way to look at things. But it makes sense everyone is on their own journey in this one giant inter connected world. Theres a good chance that if some guy 500 years ago didn't do something he deemed trivial and meaning less that you wouldn't end up were you are today. Infect there probably are many people 500 years ago who we wouldn't consider at all noteworthy who changed the course of your life. And obviously those people aren't going to see it. If you donate money to an organization your not going to see how that dollar helped someone. The actions we do that leave the most affect on people we don't know the full extent to what we have done. And often times we have no clue that we even did anything, because in our eyes we didn't.
