To know that we’re all just spinning on this big rock together. But then I remember that stupid Twitter feud I got into last night and all the negative energy in the world comes crashing down on me. It’s a small space we occupy – both on earth and in our minds – so why do we waste it on things that don’t matter?

I often wonder if aliens are looking down at us and laughing at our petty arguments and self-centered ways. And then I remember that I do the same thing when I go people-watching at the mall. Maybe we’re not all that different after all.

But seriously, if aliens do exist, I hope they’re friendly. I don’t need that kind of negativity in my life, especially if they have laser guns. It’s a scary world out there, but maybe if we focus on the good in our own little space, we can make it a little less terrifying.

So take a moment today to appreciate the space you occupy. Whether it’s the physical space you’re currently in or the space in your mind, it’s important to make the most of it. Laugh at the silly things, ponder the deep things, and just enjoy being here. And if you need me, I’ll be over here contemplating the mysteries of the universe and trying not to spill my coffee on my lap.
