I Used to Be a Human Being
&quot;I used to be a human being&quot;: I like this phrase.
It captures, poetically, the existential despair of losing the conditions of humanity. Regardless of if the author&#x27;s particular conditions necessitates the implicit drama, each of one us, I&#x27;m sure, have felt like we lost what made us &quot;real&quot; or &quot;authentic&quot; at some point or another.
