eighty seven. meditations on my own death. my own fears. my own nightmares. that which disgusts me. that which fills me with awe. is it not the corruption of the mind to be obsessed with that which fills me with unpleasant emotions? to force the physical manifestation of my greatest fears upon myself? to let it consume me and my time? Eighty seven is not enough.
