We are all perfectly alone

One thing that I always have problems explaining to people is my belief in how alone we ultimately are. I found an interview with Childish Gambino that I think does a fairly good job of expressing a similar philosophy to my current view.

Host: "You won't be there with me in the end?"
DG: "No one will."
Host: "No one will! Thanks for clearing that up."
DG: "Not in a bad way... but no one will. And that's ok."

It is pretty crazy to think of the number of people that come into and exit our lives. That grow close to us and that fade away into memory. It used to make me frustrated that life happens like that, but now I think I've trimmed it down to grudging acceptance.

One thing that has come out of this is that I am more comfortable being alone, some thing that is both liberating and concerning. I guess that E on my Meyer's Briggs might be moving back towards an I haha.

Lyric of the Day: Adele - Rolling in the Deep (Jamie xx Remix) ft. Childish Gambino
"You said I wasn't capable of loving you, I never was.
A twenty-something nigga touring the world with hella buzz.
I'm saying that my life's swell: cortizone.
Fuck Macaulay Culkin, never going home alone."
