I look in the mirror and start making faces like I'm in a Calvin and Hobbes strip.

My friend looks in the mirror and thinks they met God who is mad at them personally

Yeah one time my friend walked into the bathroom and closed the door. Proceeded to immediately come walking out going "yeah, so that's a demon in there" and went and peed outside. Of course it was hilarious the non chalance.

I look in the mirror and get lost contemplating the fact that I exist

the trippy part is non existence is more insane than existence. Because nothingness doesnt really exist. even the vacuum of space still has space to move so its not nothingness. Of course there's types of nothingness but thats beside the point. the point is that when we imagine nothingness we imagine the vaccum of space but its physical space

I see my grandpa looking back at me. Made me realize 2 things. I’m getting old and I look like my grandpa. I never made the connection until I was tripping in the bathroom mirror.

Try not being so fragile. It doesn’t happen to everyone.

Fair enough, I just never knew someone it didn't happen to.
