Why does the universe have to come from anything? I mean, considering how insignificant we are and how little we can physically grasp about our universe, why can't the universe just be? Why does it have to have a source just because we say it does

Serious people don't say that it has to have a source. It isn't proven that it has one, it isn't proven that it doesn't.
The fact that some people want to believe that it has an origin comes from either life experience and common sense bias, or from a cultural idea that things must have been created in order to exist. I hear some asian cultures don't see things that way.

So you believe the universe has (or at least possibly has) always existed?
Awhile ago when I was showering I had left my phone in my room so I was just alone to think lol and I sorta came to my own personal conclusion of this;
When you try really hard you fail, with light there's dark, with life there's death and I kinda realized everything is basically an opposite, and I thought deeper about it and kinda thought, the opposite of everything is nothing and that's how I rationalize believing the universe came from nothing because the like I said a moment ago, the opposite of everything is nothing.

Interesting thought. I think we as humans get caught up thinking we have to find a reason for everything. The fact of the matter is, the average human span is about ~70 years and the universe is billions of billions of years old according to us. How can we even begin to rationalize that? Its like an ant trying to make sense of the entire Earth. We aren't physically capable, nor have the tools to even begin understanding a beginning and an end because all we know is existence .

I don't necessarily believe it, but Im trying to understand why it couldn't be a possibility.

Yeah definitely...and lots of people get Caught up in the vast nothingness of it all and don't realize that even though we don't know a lot about the huge Galaxy, every person still matters and makes an impact.
