Irreplacable
This, I have decided, is the one adjective people secretly want connected to their being. If an abstract concept such as an adjective is something that can be applied with the right amount of adhesive, that is. The understanding that you are wanted, and not just wanted, but wanted and different and not easily reconstituted into something else. It’s what keeps us alive, I believe. It, after all is said and done, is the driving force behind most of humanity’s actions. It’s why doctors say that getting a dog will help a person live longer. We want to be connected to something that wants to be connected to us.
I, personally, feel like I struggle in this life, because quite often, for all of my talents and abilities and peculiarities, I often feel that I am not real, and am often either taken for granted or taken as a complete forgery, or simply not seen at all. How do I get past this? I’m not sure. I keep building up the mural that is my personality, I keep adding color and complexity. I am trying to start a legacy through my art. The thing I feel that I am most afraid of in this life is being forgotten. But, I understand now, that everyone else is too.

Beautiful. You know, I have a special kind of glue for stuff like this. It’s called E-6000. I’m pretty sure it’s got a phrase on it somwhere about making abstract ideas stick like concrete. If not, it should seriously rethink whatever slogan they’ve got and replace it.
