when I die I'd like my ashes to be made into a diamond. that way when the jeweler shapes it and sets it in a pretty ring for my beloved's grandchildren/descendants that will be a better rendition of me, a properly shaped, smoothed and polished human-that-was. I like to think all the bad qualities I know I possess would be pared down to a socially acceptable version of me that you would, finally, be proud of.
