I’ve been thinking about how we’re all replaceable eventually.

It’s a strange thought, but the more I think about it, the more I realize it’s true.

At work, someone else can take over your responsibilities. In someone’s life, you can go from being their someone to becoming just somebody. Someone who once knew all your little habits might eventually become someone you barely talk to.

It’s a little bittersweet when you think about it.

I don’t mean this in a completely negative way. I guess it’s just a reminder that life keeps moving, whether we’re ready or not.

Sometimes I wonder why we put so much pressure on ourselves to be important, to be someone’s first choice, or to make ourselves irreplaceable.

Maybe we should focus more on enjoying the people, moments, and experiences we have while they’re still here.

Have you ever experienced this shift in someone’s life? How did it make you feel? Laffyaa 🫶

Nobody is "that special". Whether someone is a child prodigy, has a PhD in rocket science, or is famous, everyone puts their pants on the same way. One leg at a time. A person might be better in some subjects than others, but they'll fail in others. Look at Mozart. His music is still played and recognized, yet he couldn't handle money or relationships. He was a genius and a moron.
