The universe and us

Something feels unresolved but I have no idea where to start resolving it. I feel like I need to say something, but I don’t know what I should say. And so it continues, a memory that casts a grey hue over all that I experience in the present.

Beyond our Earth lies the universe. So many galaxies in that huge vacuum called space. Contained within a galaxy are millions of stars. Around some stars, planets orbits and on some planets, there might be life. And in the solar system, on this particular planet called Earth, there are millions of living organisms. Each individual is but a mere speck of dust in this vast universe. If our physical tangible self is so insignificant when measured on such a scale, our formless intangible troubles and worries are even more miniscule. I need to remember that.

Again with the, depressing undercurrent to everything. Though i can only guess what it would be, is it the same thing you seem to be fretting over, most of the time?
