Drawn Circle

If you could draw a circle around yourself, you would have encompassed yourself, and all your emotions and feelings, your personality, just about everything that makes you, you.
But that's not true.
Because part of the reason you are you, is because of your friends and family. Your interactions with them and the effect they had on you, the effect you had on them, and more.

So fine, draw a circle around yourself, your loved ones, your family and friends.
But that's not enough either. You are also all the places you have visited. You are the school where you grew up and all the books you have read and the things you have learned along the way. You are your first home, and your secret hideaway vacation spot.

So you draw a circle around yourself, and your loved ones, and your family and friends, and all the places you have ever been. But all of those things besides yourself have also been affected by even more. Other people have influenced the people you know, and other people influenced them. Time and space has eroded and built the places you have seen. The moon and stars have inspired the buildings and oceans and valleys and statues around you.

So you draw a circle around the entire planet. You grow it larger to encompass the moon and the stars. Very quickly, your circle is the size of the universe.

To think, there is a point in space that, given the time and money and resources, your children's children would probably never even reach, and yet that point of nothingness out there in space is also affecting your life right now, in ways and forms you cannot even imagine.
