The atoms that you are made of will not cease to exist until our sun explodes and makes them into something else.

You will either get buried and rot into sustenance for worms and bacteria or you will get cooked into carbon and calcium to be spread out and become intermixed with the soil.

So will everyone that currently exists barring nuclear annihilation. I find solace that my atoms will maybe be a tree or a bird or even just grass.

I won't exist. That's enough lol.

Well, no, but we're all made out of atoms but I don't think anyone would say that a human and an equivalent pile of raw material are the same.
