Quote by Gary Shteyngart
Joshie has always told Post Human Services Staff to keep a diary, to remember who we were because every moment, our brains and synapses are being rebuilt and rewired with maddening disregard for our personalities, so that each year, each month, each day, we transfer into a different person, an utterly unfaithful iteration of our original selves, of the drooling kid in the sandbox. But not me. I am still a facsimile of my early childhood. I am still looking for a loving dad to lift me up and brush the sand off my ass and to hear English, calm and hurtless, fall off his lips.
Summary
This quote by an unknown speaker reflects on the concept of personal identity and the continuous transformation of the human mind. It emphasizes the importance of keeping a diary to remember who we were since our brains are constantly changing, causing us to become different versions of ourselves over time. Despite this constant evolution, the speaker believes they have retained a strong connection to their early childhood self, longing for the nurturing presence of a father figure and yearning for the familiar language of care and affection.
