don't you?

Sometimes I think about myself as nothing but useless specks of star dusts on this weird reality of universe.

I may be thousand years old. Right? The molecules, the atoms, all cells that shaped me, they may be billions years old.

To think about our whole life is sometimes scary. Scary to think maybe there's another planet where you become a president, or Taylor Swift's best friend, or David Beckham's children? Scary to think that maybe there's another life. Another life exists, beside us. Beside all the life that we know. They may breathe in carbon dioxide and breathe out oxygen. Maybe they walks on sky instead of on ground! Or even, maybe they didn't walk; they swim. Or maybe there's another element besides those 4? The possibilities goes infinite.

I got this mind-blown situation every-freaking-time I watch One Strange Rock. Isn't it incredibly unusual to think about our planet as a one strange rock? It makes sense completely. Yes, our Earth is just one strange rock. One. Strange. Rock. Can you read that slowly, deeply, with Neil DeGrasse Tyson's voice in your head? (Yeah, I know Will Smith is the host but I think Neil's voice suits better inside our mind). Life maybe just happen in our planet. Which is means we're all alone in this universe, and it's not less scary than the thought that we're not alone in this universe. 

It's impossible to not question about our existence. 

don't you feel the same too?

Goodall

This one post is dedicated to my superhero, on this Earth Day, Jane Morris Goodall.

I know. It's kinda late to have a blog these days, where everybody has their own blogs and of course there are blog-celebs, and out there people just having like, thousand views already. 

For me, this is such a big step ahead to have a blog. Yes, it really is.

Jane Goodall. Born in London, 3rd April 1934. Yes, she is 84 years old to be exact. 84 years old. God, what would I've done when I reach 84? 

Everyone should be knowing her. She should be known. She's the queen of the chimpanzees, or apparently, she's the queen of the jungle. 
I am extremely captivated by her passion of chimpanzees. Her passion of making something right. Goodall had no clue about chimpanzees, jungles, trees, or whatever inside a rain forest. She was a secretary! But eventually, her dream came true. Dr. Leakey, her boss, sent her to Africa to see how chimpanzees behave in their natural environment. Without a doubt, Jane went there, and done her job passionately. She climbs every hills, just to see chimpanzees. She lives with them. 

Have you ever met someone with that much courage, that much passion, for something that is not about money after all? I haven't. 
She lived with them for years, she wrote, and wrote, and wrote, about how they behave. Jane even gave them names!

Still, there are obstacles. Once, people said Jane was wrong, and unprofessional. She should be counting and measuring them, instead of knowing their behavior and gave them names. Jane is Jane. In the world where people are dismissing her, she still fights for what's right for her. And eventually, now comes the sweetness. Jane made it. She opens our eyes. She shows us acts, not just words. She fights, she struggles, she wins. For me, Jane is more than just an activist. She, indeed, is a superhero.
