I know this is probably a very different way you saw this working out, but here's to a little challenge. You know who you are - I hope this satisfies.

Nancy's POV

...

Jesus, it was already 3am, why am I not sleeping?

The thing is, I couldn't help but scroll and scroll through my feed of nothingness. Memes, funny videos, news, and philosophy.

Weird right? Philosophy? Can I get any lamer?

I can't help it!

I love reading people's opinions and thoughts about controversial questions, but sometimes I laugh at the stupid and hypocritical shit they say. One of my favourite questions has to be The Ship of Theseus.

After thinking about it, I decided to visit my favourite philosophy page to find the thread on this very famous paradox.

It's a thought experiment you see: a ship leaves to some next place, but along the way, pieces of the ship have to be replaced because of poor management or just it being old and easily damaged. All until the entire ship has been replaced by its new parts, but still ultimately keeping the ship's exact form.

And so, the question is: When it lands to it's destination, is that ship the same ship as it was when it left?
(Tell me what you guys think in the comments)

As I looked at the comments, I saw all kinds of debates and petty conversation, but there was one recent post that I found interesting.

Their handle was @LeoxDab_801 and they said:

"Life is in constant flux and will always be in a state of change - if pieces of that ship are being replaced, then it's no longer the same ship. Nothing is ever the same as it once was"

Huh, interesting point.

I was a believer of it being the same ship because regardless of the form, the entity of the mass will be the same.

Although I'm not the kind to reply to a tweet, I couldn't help but ask this person why they were so certain. I felt like if I ever had a chance to hear them say that, there'd be no wavering in their voice. What they said SCREAMS confidence.

I looked back at the time and it was - GHEEZZ, it was already 3:40am... where did time even go? Restlessness overruled me and I couldn't find myself doing anything but wait for a reply or toss and turn in bed blindly.

I shouldn't have drank that iced coffee...

Since I had nothing better to do and was bored out of my mind, I curiously clicked on that LeoxDab person to take a look on their profile, but all I saw were pictures of this Siamese looking cat with big blue eyes.

Ewwww, it was so fucking cute, I wanted to cry.

There were actually a million cat pictures and my heart was swelling up with adorableness.

But the little *ping* caught me off guard and I got a request for a conversation.

And look who it is! It's my cat person!

Hey! Saw your comment and I thought it would be a lot better to just privately message you - I got a long response
