today i lost a very interesting and simple friend, to anyone who thinks its stupid, foolish or downright insane to mourn something so seemingly insignificant…take a look at your plants.

i cant remember how far back i got brian except i know it was before 2014, he mostly ate lettuce and very rarely came out of his shell, sometimes i thought he died stuck to the top but then he'd move again, guess garden snails can go while without food (that isn't to say i didn't feed him or clean after him regularly) he actually came from our garden, but he lasted a long while, he was interesting to talk too since he's one of those slow (actually surprisingly fast if you look close enough) relaxed individuals.
i looked up how long snails live, i know he should or could've been longer then this since i never purposely salted or drowned him, but then when you see he hasn't moved for 7 days and…little white things start emerging, you know its his time (files lay eggs in snails, its a horrible thing to watch) he also had a little friend snail but they weren't around long, but i think they just weren't strong enough.

i actually never considered posting something like this because it seemed both depressing and morbid but considering theres a lot of things i feel bad about in life, the least i can do is pay tribute to him, this shelled mollusc of serenity who even when i got mad, held a calm head…and eyestalks.

i dunno if il get another one, i don't want to go through seeing that again, he might have had them from the start but i doubt it…i don't consider hi a pet, he was a companion, when i looked at him he reminded me sometimes the simplest things make you feel ok.

i don't know about anyone else but i will miss brian, he was slowly but surely, good.
