Time
from a long forgotten 2001 journal recovered off A GODDAMN FLOPPY DISK: "I’ve taken a few photos of myself. I am fascinated not for any vanity reasons but because for many years I’ve taken really awful photographs and hated being photographed. This, I now realize, is because I was unhappy. Something has changed in my eyes, in my facial presence. I seem a bit more brave, and, I think, honest. Miserable, but as the existentialists say, I am up against boundaries, and so am that much more alive. "
Damn girl, eyeroll. 2020, once again on the other side of a long dark passage. I had just taken some photos of myself a few days before I found that text last night. Maybe a bit more brave and honest. Less miserable, more alive, but also, nineteen years and one day closer to death! Shrug emoji.
