You\u2019re not just a brain.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re not just a father, or a mother.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re not your career, your car, or your cluelessness.<\/p>\n
You\u2019re SO much more than what you think about yourself, what you lack, or what you wish for.<\/p>\n
So much more.<\/p>\n
You see: calling ourselves a walking brain is like calling a pink-orange-purple-yellow sunset a piece of sky.<\/p>\n
A brain is a thing (a pretty cool thing, for sure), and we are not.<\/p>\n
We are life itself.<\/p>\n
All of it, at once.<\/p>\n
Calling being in love a temporary chemical madness doesn\u2019t do it justice.<\/p>\n
We are all the colors in the world, we are depth and height and width, and, well, in the end, we are without borders and measurements.<\/p>\n
We are not robots, or mechanical entities.<\/p>\n
We are conscious, we can feel, experience frustration and empathy.<\/p>\n
We can daydream and nightmare.<\/p>\n
We can have an ice cream and enjoy it, or hate ourselves for it.<\/p>\n
Sure, there is a brain.<\/p>\n
But we are not.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
