I Was Given A Body, I Was Given A Mind

I was given a body on my first day of living. It was small, covered in blood, and difficult to control, but it was mine.

I was also given consciousness, although the limit of my abilities at the time was wiggling around and making strange noises. But even so, I was a being, and I was beginning to experience what it is like to be a mind.

Like all bodies, it needed to be looked after, but as a small child, a mind isn't able to take care of its body yet, so the parent minds have to care for the smaller mind's body until it can on its own.

As I experienced more, the mind and body that I possessed had grown, and I was able to process more advanced information, and even understand the importance of completing tasks on an interval in order to maintain the body I am in and keep it alive.

Later on in my existence, I will become similar to the parent minds that brought mine into existence, and do such to another mind. I will make sure it learns the self-preservation skills needed to keep itself maintained, such as cleaning the body it resides in, and making sure it consumes enough food to be able to continue expending energy doing the other things it must do to keep being.

I will continue maintaining the body belonging to the child mind until it too grows and becomes one like me, having its very own child mind to raise.

When the child mind leaves to go live out it's own existence, I will continue doing the things I must to to preserve the body in which I reside, until, as with all beings, it cannot continue being.

I was given a body on my first day of living, and maintaining it is nothing more and nothing short of work. But the body is mine, and care for it I must, lest I cease being sooner than usual.

And care for it I shall.
