I find it simultaneously sad and relieving that nothing we do will matter in a million years. Every embarrassing thing I've done or will do, everything I've fucked up or will fuck up, eventually it won't matter. Yes, I'm sad that my achievements also won't matter in the really long run, but there is an upside

    Every embarrassing thing I’ve done or will do, everything I’ve fucked up or will fuck up, eventually it won’t matter.

    This comes much earlier than the heat death of the universe.

    As we get older, the people who were present and aware of these embarrassing fuck ups not only has bad memory of their own, but these people pass away and with them, the only repository of the embarrassment ever happened remaining is ourselves. You will likely live to be the only one alive that know these embarrassing moments ever took place. Don't continue to torture yourself when you're the last witness.
