A COMMUNAL EXPERIMENT IN SELF CURATION

“Crying is my most accessible emotional response. It’s a visual indicator of what I can’t put into words. Those closest to me have seen me cry. But more often than not, it’s a solitary experience. Its me crying into a pillow so no one hears me. It’s me leaving the room after a fight. It’s me sitting in silence. It’s lonely. It’s not the face I wear into the world. But this tear drenched face is mine; it is a part of me. And I do not need to wear a smile everyday to keep people in my life. This is me breaking. Breaking free of narratives that no longer serve me.”

“I am getting to know my own elegance. It tends to step beyond the curtain when I do not call for it or expect it. It can never be forced or acted; it is my grounded self. A self that sees from the inside out. A self that does not even note what things LOOK LIKE from the outside, but emphasizes what things ARE in the present moment. Maybe, elegance truly is presence.”
