Jellyfish are so interesting to me because I can't understand the idea of a living creature without a brain. All they have is neurons. I don't necessarily believe in a certain god so I still question the meaning of life. I wonder what their purpose is. They don't have emotions, they can't see or hear. The only sense they really have is detecting light and touch. Realistically they are probably just an undeveloped species, but I came up with this crazy idea that their minds are in a different realm. Maybe their bodies are just protecting important souls?? In dark times I always think, "I wish I was a jellyfish." Sometimes I have the urge to disconnect from everything around me and that is literally how they live. I'm also a geek who likes to imagine myself traveling through different universes lol.

I love the idea of jellyfish being some sort of multi-demensional creature

I find the idea that Jellyfish were that way very interesting, some Jellyfish species are even immortal, I find Jellyfish very interesting. My favorite sea animal ₍^. .^₎⟆
I seriously wonder about the reason for their existence. They aren't conscious so why are they here for such a long time? There HAS to be something special about them.

The way we cannot draw a serious, undisputable line between what lives and what doesn't concerns me. Greatly. Kinda like you, back in my darkest times I'd wish I was just a bacteria instead or something. I also (foolishly) seriously believed inanimate objects were superior to the living as they didn't suffer from being stuck in such an endless cycle. Yet nowadays, I wonder. If trees are lifeforms, if molecules, atoms, and even the tiniest particles display behaviour or attributes similar to a lot of general patterns present in most lifeforms, such as how energy is never created or destroyed, it simply changes form, and due to this being a building block all more complex formations follow suit, including organisms, could this mean that instead of believing that there is a solid, rigid line that separates life from death, we should see it as a base structure that continuously grows more and more complicated, from atoms, molecules, inanimate mass, cells, lifeforms and so on until we reach something as complex as sentience and consciousness? Honestly, who knows? Nature is weird. And interesting as hell.
you get me. I often think about what happens after we die. I choose to believe that our energy slips out of our bodies and powers something else. Like the stars. Or if you want to keep your energy on earth, you can plant a tree over your body and you will live through the tree.

I kinda believe the same thing. That's why at some point I decided that trying to escape from the cycle is pretty much physically impossible, which leaves 3 realistic options. Either accept it and ride the meaningless tide despite our innate need for meaning, try to create temporary meaning yourself to escape mentally (that feels like lying to myself ngl) or jump straight to letting go from your current form as a living human and letting nature do whatever it will, however it will incorporate your corpse in the ecosystem. I choose to stick with the first option for now, to see where it will lead. Though unfortunately there's no guarantee that my worldview is 100% correct cause it's merely how I perceive and understand things.
