The question:
If the max speed I can go in the universe is the speed of light measured from?
Background:
If there are three rocks in a vacuum along a line (the x axis), one is stationary (rock 1), one is moving 5 m/s in the x direction (rock 2) and one is move -5 m/s in the x direction (rock 3). All rocks are going 0 m/s relative to themselves. Rock 1 is moving -5 m/s relative to rock 2 and 5 m/s relative to rock 3. Rock 2 is moving 5 m/s relative to rock 1 and 10 m/s relative to rock 3. Lastly Rock 3 is moving -5 m/s relative to rock 1 and -10 m/s relative to rock 2.
Then in theory I can reach the speed of light relative to Earth because I am not moving relative to myself.

I hope you can help clear this confusion up.
Thanks
