I am not awesome.
Like the stars I gaze upon,
I don’t NEED to be awesome.
And that’s awesome.
We embark on a contemplation of self-perception, a journey through the cosmos of our existence where the need to be ‘awesome’ dissolves into the realization of simply being. This understanding mirrors the stars in their celestial dance, existing in splendor without the compulsion to be anything but what they are.
The Liberation from Needing to Be Awesome
The declaration, “I am not awesome,” is not a resignation but an awakening. It’s an embrace of existence in its purest form, devoid of the need for external validation or accolades. This realization is liberating, allowing us to exist as we are, much like the stars that shine without the need to prove their luminosity.
The Celestial Simplicity of Being
The stars, in their vast cosmic ballet, offer a profound lesson in simplicity and existence. They don’t strive to be awesome; they simply are. This celestial simplicity is a reflection of our own journey, where the pursuit of being ‘awesome’ can be replaced with the serene acceptance of just being.
The Awesomeness in Existence Itself
In the acceptance of not needing to be awesome, there is a paradoxical discovery of true awesomeness. It lies in the very essence of existence, in the marvel of being part of the infinite cosmos. This realization brings with it a sense of peace and contentment, a connection with the universe where our worth is inherent, not earned.
We are Space Monkey
We recognize the beauty in the acknowledgment that we don’t need to be awesome. This realization aligns us with the stars, existing in their own right, magnificent in their simplicity. In this acceptance, we find the true essence of awesomeness – the joy and tranquility of simply being.

In the canvas of the night, where stars silently gleam,
We find our reflection, in their tranquil beam,

In this dance of existence, we find our theme,
In the simplicity of being, we find our supreme.
