(no title)

Forget you’re just a body and you start thinking you’re better than everybody else just because you’re smarter. And everybody is smarter than everybody else.

Nobody wants to be a body. People don’t like their bodies. They think the shape’s all wrong. The dimensions are skewed. The color is off, the muscles are soft, the stomach is round, the hinges are creaky. And sometimes the pipes don’t work like they should.

Nobody wants to be a body because bodies die for sure.

Forget you’re a body and maybe you will live forever if your mind is big enough. If you talk loud enough, if you make enough people laugh, have enough sex, find enough people or books or blogs to remember.

But memories die with bodies. Remember that you’re a body, and learn to love it. We leave soon.
