This piece resonated with me so much. As a highly achieving child and young adult, I grew up believing the world would be like school. Yes, there were prizes but there were also consequences when perfection wasn’t achieved. But now I see that the world welcomes mess; craves it, really. It’s broken my brain to some degree. Seeing your words made me feel less alone in that brokenness. Thank you.
Mesmerizing. Quite formal really. Okay. Here's a hint of a hand-slap for you: you must be self-correcting to some degree or why the seams and such in the calico? You've found some workable ways to adjust from one persona (person comes from the Etruscan word for mask probably) to the next. Of course, it is hard to measure the distance from one persona to the next -- which can be disturbing, a tiny bit of a slap.
thank you peter, much appreciated. you're right, i never let it come to full implosion so i do actively try to uphold a somewhat cohesive persona. but from a boredom/passive perspective it was pretty disappointing (naive) to realize there are no true new beginnings (because wherever you go there you are blabla).
i want to be in your brain for a day. your imagery skills are beyond.
i would love to do a mental freaky friday with like half of all the people i've ever met
that’d be dope
worth coming back to again and again 🩷
thanks!! this is such a neglected baby of mine lol but obviously you know what's good 🦭
„each time i rise again, it’s out of the ashes of all those bridges i’ve burned.“ My favourite. 🖤 Great work. 👏

truly, it's a mess out here and all we can do is learn to love it and maybe even thrive in it. entropy, baby
