What would you do if every human being except for you would disappear from the face of the earth? There is no one left who could scold you for your actions but no one left who could ease your worries. Would your usual duties still hold importance to you in a world where you are the only member of society? Now that you´ve gained infinite freedom at the price of eternal loneliness, what to do with this cursed blessing?

Thinking about it makes you realize how much our lifestyles depend on human society.


If I were in such a situation I would perhaps devote my life to taking care of animals. But if these critters were gone as well, I think I would revolve my life around my current main passions: Writing and sewing. Or maybe I would finally start to learn how to draw or how to compose music.

But what point would there be to creating art if there was no one else who would ever get to experience them? I could continue to improve my writing skills, but with no one to read my works I run the risk of repeating mistakes I would have never found on my own and my style could become stale. I could never reach my full potential without the help of external critique.

On the other hand, none of the plushies I´ve sewn were made with the original intend to share them. It can be nice to know that there are other people in the world find joy in my crafts, but this feeling pales in comparison to the feeling of having created something I like with my very own hands. If the whole world would lose interest in them, my own internal drive to create would still be enough to keep me going.


So what about you? What would your life look like if the world became your oyster and yours alone?
