And if he left off dreaming about you...




"I think of death as oblivion. I am hungering and thirsting after oblivion. I do not want to be remembered; and-this is the most important-I am tired of being myself. In fact, I am tired of being an ego, an "I"; and I a suppose that when I'm dust and ashes, then I'll be nothing. I'm looking forward to that prospect. But of course I won't be able to enjoy it because I won't be there."

I'm hoping you'll go into more detail as to why you're deleting your FB account. I keep a rather low profile and hardly ever communicate "wall-to-wall." Usually, my communications with others are through private messages.

Whoa...was there an FB undertone to the ruinas circulares-esque post?
