I've never been comfortable with permanence I guess you could say I have commitment issues the irony -of course- is that my fear of making permanent decisions leaves me in a constant state of stagnance we're not meant to stand still we can make a thousand marble statues in an attempt to grasp immortality but no one was ever meant to last forever our cells are doomed from the start when you deselect for aging you select for cancer and -just like marble- cannot escape the weather we cannot escape out own mortality I've never been comfortable with permanence but thankfully -I suppose- I'll never have to be
