When do you stop being you?
Are you your body? your memories? your spirit?
Who are you? Who am I?
This brilliant short story gives two takes on what a person is.
The story is a bit weird, it's a bit scary and it's a bit tedious, it takes you on a short journey of discovering oneself. Yourself.
Just go and read it, you are probably pondering the significance of it longer than you spend reading it.
Enjoy.
Oh, and whatever or whoever you are, don't forget: You're awesome and you are loved!

To forget is to lose something that was once yours, that was once of yourself. But how could one lose something as expansive as an ocean in a dusty corner of one’s mind? What if, instead, to forget is to open a door to a void; the memory is not retrievable because it is not there, was never there.
