i would like to thank you, in some ways.
you created a better person of me. you
made me realize my deepest fear could
be conquered. rome was not built in a day,
they say. i now understand why. rome was
not, and neither will i be. i am constantly
being renovated. i am constantly adding new
features and repairing old things. i will continue
to shape this home until my mind becomes no more.
i will find an architect who admires my grand designs.
a willing repairman ready to defeat every flooded sink
and shattered window.
