Welcome to the world! You have just been born. Your parents are so happy to have you as their child. They stamp your feet on a birth certificate and give you a name. What do you do? [[cry]] [[giggle]] [[open your eyes]]

Good choice! You are but a fresh child after all. And better get your practice in now because there is a lot of crying to come in your future! Your parents take you home after a couple of days in the hospital. [[Whoa, I was just starting to get comfortable in there!]] [[About time! I'm ready for something new.]]

Wow look at that adorable smile! Your parents can't get enough of your laugh, so they take a picture. What do they do with the picture? [[Share it on Facebook]] [[Nothing.]]

Slow down there bud! One step at a time, someone is trying to grow up fast! Your eyes won't open because you were literally just born. [[Ok cool, got it. Now I cry]] [[Ok cool, got it. Now I giggle]]

Well Momma knows best, because the hosipital is getting pricey! Do you know how much it costs to give birth anyway? [[Bruh, I was just born. Chill]] [[Yeah, more money than I've got in my pocket]]

Posted! It's amazing that your parents even know how to use Facebook. Must be millennials... Your face has been made public! Was it for [[social capital?]] [[financial capital?]] [[neither - Your parents don't have Facebook friends]]

It's better to live in the moment after all! No need to worry because there are many wonderful things to live for that aren't online! Digital affirmation can only acquire temporary satisfaction after all. Keep flourishing you beautiful sprout! [[will do!]]

Your home is nice, and you have a yellow and gray room. But who cares about the colors? [[I do! I might be small, but I have an eye for aesthetics!]] [[My parents. I'm just glad it's gender-inclusive!]]

Damn, you're already a part of the system. Althusser is rolling in his grave - life and death are a cycle. [[Why did you bring Althusser into this?]] [[Who is Althusser?]] [[This got sad, real quick]]

That's right. Your parents work for Facebook, because they studied computer science at Brown. It's nice to feel financially supported! [[#blessed]] [[Does that mean they'll always be working?]]

Hahaha ohhhhh parents! No need to worry because there are many wonderful things to live for that aren't online! Digital affirmation can only acquire temporary satisfaction after all. Keep flourishing you beautiful sprout! [[will do!]]

Better know where you are before you get too far... Life is work kid. Buckle up and where steel-toed boots. [[Contemplating life has made me lose my youthfulness.]]

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Louis_Althusser [[A wikipedia link... really?]] [[What the fuck! He killed his wife??]]

I'm sorry. All plots move deathward, better get comfy. But it's not about that itself, but rather what you do with the life you have. [[Use it for good!]] [[Use it for bad!]]

What a natural talent! You should use it! [[Use it for good!]] [[Use it for bad!]]

True that. Forced gendering is a reinforcement of ideological aparatuses that ultimately will only benefit cis white men. [[feeling trapped!]] [[huh?]]

Oh ok smarty pants. Taking life one step at a time. Why don't you try to giggle then. [[giggle]]

Ain't that the truth! But it's alright, your parents have you covered until they don't. [[One day there will be a price tag for breathing.]]

Ain't that the truth! And there are many other wonderful things to live for! Keep flourishing you beautiful sprout! [[will do!]]

Life is work kid. Buckle up and where steel-toed boots. [[Contemplating life has made me lose my youthfulness.]]

You might be right, but there are many wonderful things to live for! Keep flourishing you beautiful sprout! [[will do!]]

XOXOXO

Ahh, you're a good bean. It's great to hear that you are using your life for good purposes. But don't forget that there is no definitive "good" or "bad." Every action/principle/thought exists on a spectrum between the "ultimate good" and the "ultimate bad." Those who get the most satisfaction out of life give what they can from what they have. You're on a smooth track. [[Contemplating life has made me lose my youthfulness.]]

But why? There's enough nasty out here for all of us and some as things are. But don't forget that there is no definitive "good" or "bad." Every action/principle/thought exists on a spectrum between the "ultimate good" and the "ultimate bad." [[Contemplating life has made me lose my youthfulness.]]

Yeah, did I mention that time is limited? And I have other things to do that don't involve repeating already-made-available information. Life is work kid. Buckle up and where steel-toed boots. [[Contemplating life has made me lose my youthfulness.]]

Someone reads the details. And they teach this man's work in classes. Almost as if to reveal the apparatus without revealing it's exit. [[feeling trapped!]] [[all good, I'm staying calm]]

You're rather wise for being just a child! And no need to worry about feeling stuck in the apparatus, there are many other wonderful things to live for inside of here! Keep flourishing you beautiful sprout! [[will do!]]

You might be right, but there are many wonderful things to live for! Keep flourishing you beautiful sprout! [[will do!]]
