Long ago, the stars exploded creating the universe, then the planets, and then. life. Before my existence, my hair was a pile of twigs with small flames among them. My eyes were dark caves in a snowy place. My freckles were small pebbles in the sand. My nose was a cliff, and a rock fell off of that cliff. The rock landed in a river crashing into tiny pieces making my teeth inside of my mouth.
Long ago, I was a part of the ocean, and now I like to swim. Also, the waves crashing down in the ocean made it so that I don't like to be bored, I like to have something to do. The wind that carried songs of the birds through the air whispered to me, and now I like to sing. Once I was a tree, knowing all the secrets of the world, and that is why I like to know things, and I like to figure things out.
Long ago, my brain was a complex spider-web with strands connecting things together, but with the spider long gone. My heart was a lost star in a galaxy waiting to be found. A calm breeze, and a hurricane came together to form my personality. But the most important thing of all is when the stars exploded, creating everything, and life. Life. What a wonderful thing.
