Literally

So, here's the thing.

You are irreplaceable.

It's not some touchy-feely squidgey kindness and love thing. You are, literally, not possible to replace.

You are not rare, you are literally the only one of you that will ever exist. There is nothing and no-one available to step in and take over what you are doing, and there never will be.

If you stop existing, everything that you were going to do in your life will now never be done. The birds you would see will never be observed by you. The thoughts you have on whether Valjean and Crowley would split a Hawaiian pizza will never occur to anyone else. The fondness you have for your nephew, the tattoo you are going to get in six years, the scritches you are going to give to every dog you meet -- none of that happens. None of it, without you.

I am not a squishy emotions person. I am a facts person. And the fact is, somewhere out there is a kitten that you are eventually going to meet and foster, there is a cousin's friend that needs a couch to sleep on while they get a new job in this trans refuge state, there is a neighbor's garbage can that needs to be pulled out of the street, there is an entire unfathomable universe of YOU that will never happen without you to make it happen.

Maybe you look ahead and see the footprint you leave on the world and you think, ehh, that's no loss to anyone.

How dare you.

How dare you deny the rest of existence the right to judge for ourselves whether you will be missed. Whether your absence is a loss. How dare you decide on behalf of people not even yet born whether or not they will love and respect and value you.

You are literally irreplaceable. So is future-you.

Stay alive to find out what happens next

Everyone knows wild turkeys are quite large.

But if you have the opportunity to get close to one, their size can really startle you.
