it takes just a single second to turn something from a work of precise beauty and deliberateness to a mass of unrecognizable ooze.

imagine you were building something, had spent weeks formulating plans and ideas, days laying out he plans for its execution, and then, two nails or a 2X4 in, the project is taken from you and given to someone else. someone who hasn't made a single plan. someone who doesn't know how to use a hammer. you can't help but look back at your blueprints, see how strong the structure was, how high and grand the peaks would have been. would have been. it takes days at least for your heart to stop thinking of the project as yours, trust me.
