i've made the argument, in some semi-casual conversations, that every time you talk, eat, sleep, or have sex you are arguably trying to influence the future narrative of the world. it's in our glands, so to speak. we're storytellers and storylisteners and storychangers and builders of universes made up only of words that we spit out and hope they'll last long after our bones do. and i know, at least in my universe, that my best story i have left to build.
