Good morning! I couldn't sleep at all last night after watching this amazing short video. It blew my mind (in a good way), and I couldn't stop thinking about how unbelievably massive the universe is. No really. Try to wrap your mind around it after watching this. Scientists have actually mapped out and animated 8,000 galaxies! There are billions more to go, but this will give you a taste of where we are, and how unimportant the drama in our lives is. Laniakea is the name for our newly discovered home supercluster. It makes problems small instantly.
I have been through a lot of things in my life, and I got through some of the really difficult times by visualizing something a friend told me to years ago; To picture yourself floating up outside your body to look back down at yourself, then float up even higher outside your home, then above your city, your country, your continent, and then hover above the Earth and look down. What happens is something astronauts call "The Overview Effect", which is a term that expresses the pristine awe felt by anyone who gets the privilege of looking back at the Earth from space.
Just think about that when you are having a bad day, and you will instantly feel better. I love you tons, and I'm sending you all my light :)
