These strips are not amusing and lack any structure. I'm at a loss as to why we're still here appearing in them.
I'm here because I wanted to see the world outside Peru.
This is hardly the world. You're a graphic, on a web site, standing inside an empty box.
On a literal level, but it is our choice whether to let such constraints bound our conscious and define our being.
Crazy fool. Your being's defined by whatever's typed into the caption above your head. You've no existence beyond the one forced upon you.
Or does our being, wherever it resides, force itself on the writer? The arbitrary choice to make me Peruvian can never be undone. It's who I am now.
