Acting authentically in the face of survival

Edited to clarify.

One need not have a beating heart and active brain to survive. Example: Charles Dickens 'lives' on in what he has written.

Survival, and indeed living, are also decisions. One has to decide to pull themselves out of bed when hungry, to go to the bathroom when they have to shit. Being free, we can choose death.

Life is a 'choice', and it's your decision on whether you struggle through it, or take an early departure from it.

I'm sure you and Tibbers can both keep each other and invite the Violet over for fun and games FSM Wink

The safe rules are condoms and dental dams and having a good look over the person's nude form instead of blindly fucking them Wink

Please give me a home where cloud buffalo roam
Where the dear and the strangers can play
Where sometimes is heard a discouraging word
But the skies are not stormy all day
