I thought I might've been the first to think of it because I'd never heard of it before.

Although my thoughts are fluid and so are my relationships and many elements of my day to day experience. I still possess a body and the earth is still in existence.

I hereby select Endurantist; the WHOLE of the existence is the key here. No parts, as most subjectively oriented reasoning would have it. The frame is the subdivision of time, and it's just as much a whole as any broader whole, which can't be measured anyway. There doesn't seem to be any real meat to the perdurantist side. But that's just me... because I am crazy nuts like that.
