1/3 - Is it though? Is a ship at its core not its keel and timber and rigging 2/3 - Everything else that comes later is just... excess. 3/3 - They may add or alter, but they don't change the ship at its heart
(1/3) It is difficult to formulate a reply when I am not certain which of you has texted me. (2/3) How do my contacts keep breaking for all of you? (3/3) Regardless the places a ship sails changes the lumber and metal. Salt versus freshwater for example
1/3 - It's Celeste. 2/3 - So they are the same ship, and yet not? I don't understand 3/3 - The ship was always the original, and yet the original parts were also the original. A journey does not change that they started in the same place.
