Why am i still breathing?

[Felix]

A very dear friend of mine repeated a quote to me as we were discussing how between my fears and self esteem lower than the belly of a pregnant snail paralyzes me at best. More often sends me into an emotional death spiral of eating and drinking to excess

"Argue for your limitations and sure enough they're yours" - Richard Bach 

A lot has changed in my life since that night

Like slugs, most snails are hermaphrodites. The make love for many hours at a time and it's actually pretty graceful. They lay eggs, though, so don't experience pregnancy in the sense that we know it.
