Funeral inspo. But also life inspiration. Hold space for inconveniences. Show up raw. Give space to the ugly versions of you so they can live and die.

The original poem this piece is built on is called ‘Tract’ - written by William Carlos William (whose work was a muse for the film Paterson).

Someone who is secure is also consistent: they’re the same person in front of everyone because they’re comfortable being authentic. They don’t have to change masks between people because they don’t feel the need to impress others by pretending to be someone they’re not.
