I have been fighting adulthood very hard for almost as long as I can remember.I chose to think that despite everything, that its a remarkable gift to be alive in a vast inert and mostly lifeless universe. Its a further gift then to be alive as a creature which has some inclination as to how special he is, even greater still that he is born to a time when the greatest number of people have the leisure to think this way.
