Do you remember the series Cosmos hosted by Carl Sagan? I remember one of the episodes he talked about this. He said "we are star stuff."

pretty awesome
Yeah basically star dust.
Cliff note version (rare for me)
Nothing.
Small light from something smaller than an electron.
Grew bigger.
Matter and anti matter start canceling each other out.
Matter wins by a slight margin.
Expanding real fast still. To fast for electrons to settle down.
Starts to cool.
Electrons slow up and hydrogen/helium form.
Unstable stars form
Stars go boom
Boom makes more elements, ok collapse does but these are cliff notes.
Repeats many more times with more dense atoms.
Universe gets past iron issue.
Iron core stars form.
They go boom too.
Eventually there is us.
Latter on everything will be torn apart as the universe continues to build up expanding speed.
The end.
