2020 anthem
Once obstacles are identified and removed there is real work to do. Now summon your long dormant/discarded iterations and watch them rise phoenix-like as they gather, united in purpose. And if each resurrection comes paired with its negative mirror - and each will - then the mirrors have to shatter. Let them shatter and don’t look back: Fuck that voice in your head. Fuck that film festival. Fuck that grant board. Fuck that person who didn’t write you back. Fuck that rejection letter. Fuck that person you supported who didn’t return the support. Fuck the idea you keep promoting internally that you can’t do this. Expel this poisonous fog and don’t look back. The work is the only thing. It exists despite your fear, your self-doubt, your intermittent anxieties. The work is the only thing and the rest is meaningless, ephemeral empty noise. Do the work. Do the work. Do the work and don’t look back.
