I am still in college as an undergrad studying CS and have for a long time wanted my life to mean something. After a failed startup that I thought would "change the world" (mobile payments platform for microfinacne institutions in dev nations) I was left thinking that I would sadly live the rest of my life as just a (this sounds egotistical and self-aggrandizing to assume this wasn't going to be the case) normal non universe denting person.
I [un]fortunately had a little baby girl recently and thought my life was truly over as I did not want the responsiblity. however in just the few months she has been around I realized that I was her whole world. I could do nothing more than just be there for her and I would put a dent in her universe. This may seem small, but for me it is enough [for the time being].
Everything I know and think can be left in a legacy in her.
Sorry dude, this is mother fucking bull shit. You don't have to dent the universe for your life to matter. Do 1 kind thing for someone else, you've mattered. Recalibrate this shit.

In no way is caring for/parenting/raising a child "small". Its huge. Its huge-er than huge. Do a good job.
