Canning
One way to preserve is to use canning. This is a method that means you have to lock
yourself away from contamination to avoid any sneaky bad things getting in
at you. Unfortunately, if you are not
particularly careful, in the first place, it just take one slip and you become
unsafe. So leaving a contaminate in the
mix, without thorough heating and high pressure, or allowing a break in the
seal after closure will mean you are exposed to corruption and danger.
Freezing
Just keeping things at a much lower temperature and never
allowing heat can preserve but is not as long lasting as canning. It requires a considerable amount of energy to maintain the effort. Also, in the process you lose some of the
essential you (tendency to become a little mushy). Frozen as you once were, you are inevitably somewhat less too.
Dehydrating
Taking all the moisture out of you means bad stuff cannot
grow. You can last quite effectively
with this method. You won’t be as
nourishing, as you once were either, and in the process you often get
pureed. Preserved but in a different form
if you get my drift.
Pickling
Pickling is a common preservative and in solution we can last some time. It is a common technique in modern days and you can grow to love the taste and the feel of being pickled. You can find yourself more comforted, social and outgoing in the pickled state. In the shortened modern form of pickling, excess pickling is expected along with frequent vomiting.

It would seem that preserving oneself in the modern world is
fraught with difficulties. You don’t
want to isolate yourself, freeze all emotion out, remove the life force or
anaesthetise yourself with alcohol.
None of these things will really do.
They are just a method of avoiding, concealing, ignoring the
inevitable.
Change comes to all of us let’s embrace it. So I’d like to introduce the concept of renewal. Our skin does it all the time so why can’t we? Instead of keeping what we are, why not let it go and become a better us. Then, instead of viewing each passing day as a threat we can see it as an opportunity.
