Do you ponder as I do— how beautiful and fleeting life is? Our lives, exquisitely crafted, yet designed to fade. How terribly the same we all are, yet we waste time clinging to our differences. Do you ponder as I do— how we are all imitations of those before us? Borrowed faces.Borrowed bodies.In time, we return them to the earth.Just as every living thing must, as every plant fades, as every flower wilts. Borrowed time. We are ballerinas, dancing on the delicate thread of existence, fighting to keep balance as death looms over us— a constant reminder of the inevitable end. A beautifully executed story, beautifully melancholic. These borrowed bodies— they are only vessels. And yet, even with this knowing, fear lingers— the thought of becoming something I cannot remember. A soul. I am afraid of the unknown. Or will I remember it all when death’s shadow envelops me, devours me whole? Will I remember what it is to be a soul?
