My existence is its own justification

I used to sometimes feel like I needed to justify my own existence, until I realized: my existence itself is justification for my existence. it is literally an existence proof that I am welcome in the universe—no further justification required

now, if some strange tyrant wanted to kill me unless I were useful to him or her, perhaps I would need to justify getting to *continue* to live, but I don't need to justify the fact that I already do. I simply do. have a look.

maybe "I" fucked up people up on the way here—externalities or whatever... sure, we may need to account for that in order to go forward from here!

there may be karma to untangle, but I don't need to justify my being, to my own self or to anyone else who can observe it. it IS.

I feel like the confusion I'm talking about above is pretty common, to greater and lesser extents but if what I said doesn't land for you, either you don't have the confusion yourself or it's blocked under something else. the thing I saw self-evidently cleaned mine up.
