something out of nothing
when so many others
have already done it

a reminder of the unique spark
that no one else can leave
the exact same mark”

The first human ancestors appeared between five million to seven million years ago. So, you are the only one among all of them and all the future mankind generations to come. Being this much valuable is your opportunity and also your responsibility.
