“I am nothing. But I am capable of everything.”
I was all alone watching the sun dip below the horizon at Arches National Park.
My friends had stayed back by the car, but I decided to sprint up the long staircase to get a better view of the day’s last light.
Seeing that sunset, alone, in such a breathtaking place… I had no choice but to get deep in thought.

I don’t think I had ever felt smaller. I was overwhelmed by the vastness of the land as well as the insignificance of my self in the universe. I realized: I am nothing.
But in that same moment I also became filled with enormous hope. I came to the understanding that when you are nothing, the possibilities of life become endless.
Why not chase after my biggest dreams? It’s not like failing is a big deal in the grand scheme of things.
No matter how tiny I am in the world, I can do what I want. It’s either that or I just give in to the sad reality of my place in the deep void. I think I’ll choose the former.
So.
I may be nothing, but I am capable of everything.
Here are photos of my best friends at Arches being nothing and everything. The end. ❤️
