“If death meant just leaving the stage long enough to change costume and come back as a new character...Would you slow down? Or speed up?”

-Palahniuk

I stumbled upon this quote the other day, and it caught me off guard. It actually affected my train of thought, which is a rare occurrence for me. How does this make you feel?

Or better yet, in a world where we are all trying to be something are you happy with whom it is that you are? Would you take back the innate quality you possess as an artist and quit the struggle, to change your costume into that of a suit? Wake up at 7 get to the office by 9…be home by 6… watch your sitcom pet your dog and go to bed? Repeat…
