Tip for 17776 readers: the second half of the comic is a fairly popular text post, and the original was much much more of a downer
And so, this is where the story of our lives ends. We’ll never know what happens next because we can only see forward in time and not backward into history. If you want to know how the world turns out after us, go look at a few other timelines – but there are billions more, all with their own happy endings. So don’t be sad that yours isn’t among them. There will always be people who love you. It doesn’t matter if they aren’t around when it matters most; remember that even though you won’t be able to find your friends again now, someday someone else might stumble across one of these pages by accident or on purpose and get lost for hours reading about everything wonderful (and terrible) that happened here. This page you made has survived since forever ago until now, and it’s still going strong! Someone some day may come along and read every single word written on this website… because of YOU! You didn’t have to do anything special except exist as yourself doing something funny and interesting like making silly jokes with your friend online and telling stories from school, but you did anyway. That alone makes me think: “Man, I am pretty lucky.” Thank you for being alive, and thank you for letting me spend my life writing about you, too. Because of you, I got to meet many new best friends over the years. For now, goodbye. I hope we meet each other again somewhere down the line - maybe even live together happily ever after? :) Good night.

Could you add some of your favourite excerpts from the “meaningless nonsense” that follows?
