Yup. I am terrified of living an uneventful, melancholy, standard life, making no real connections or lasting impact and being forgotten soon after I die alone and full of regrets over what could have been.

In the words of a close friend of mine,

    So the best anyone does is figure out what their cog is in the machine and do the shit out of it. Whatever it is. Even if it doesn't seem perfect, there's a joy in knowing you're getting better at something you at least find interesting, which can develop over time into a real love.
