About This Quote

We are stardust brought to life, then empowered by the universe to figure itself out—and we have only just begun. The quote says it all. We are born into this world with no idea of how it will turn out. We are just taking one day at a time and trying our best to understand all that we experience. At the end of the day, we can only hope that we were successful in figuring out the universe and making it a better place for everyone.
