Place your hand over your heart.
Beat. Beat. Beat. Beat.
Listen to that humble tune, the persevering pound of the bongo.
But it's not a bongo.
No instrument could possibly hope to match the beauty of that song.
It's the ticking of a clock, counting down the time.
It began ticking seventeen years ago, when you were so cruelly torn from the tender calm of the all-consuming nothingness.
The average number of heartbeats in a human lifespan is 2,543,063,040.
Beat. Beat. Beat. Beat.
On and on it goes, unyielding, unfettered in its quest to deliver you from the incomprehensibly cruel shackles of your physicality.
And when that ticking at last comes to a merciful halt?
When you finally shed your mortal cocoon, spread your ethereal wings infinitely beyond the frozen prison of existence?
It's going to be fucking beautiful.

Happy birthday.
