I'm working right now on some pieces for an art show next week, and school projects besides, I don't expect much but the experience has me thinking how a person metamorphs throughout life. We go through the usual experiences of childhood, adolescence, young adulthood, adulthood, and elderly, but those are trivial to me.
The changes that interest me are the decisions that turn us down one path or another. Movies, stories and the like act as if your decisions can be subconscious, or forced by fate, but those decisions don't change who you are. It is the ones we make knowing full well that there are other lives, other people that we could be that make me think.
Prostitutes in Nevada are looking for a tax to be put on them so they can gain some form of legitimacy as an industry. This is a decision to become society instead of a fringe part of it. I wonder when though did people decide to become the edge and what makes them push to take away part of what is them to become something new.
Shows like "House" say that people don't change, I can't believe that.
