I'm not sure if I have to worry about heart disease, but I'm going to avoid candy for Halloween and maybe have a salad for dinner.

Just in case.

I'm not entirely certain I'm human, what with the mushroom for a heart and all, but I'm positive I have more humanity than anything that's ever been made using AI.

What do you do when the things that bring you joy remind you of the things that almost broke you?

I would like to stop thinking about the things I don't have (a human heart) and focus on what I do have (a mushroom the size of my fist embedded in my chest).

I often wonder how long this will go on for and how far I will have to push myself.

I also wonder if knowing would help at all.
