Distant Present

A gift for early supporters!

"The once wistful (however tender it may be), completely melancholic longing, — has faded with a pressure yearning for ideal experiences; the incompleteness, once filled by utopian concepts of (self) development, — has been replaced with anxiety; in the brewing storm, throughout a person's (lack of) focus on the times past, present and future, — the future robs one's present, the past eludes the future, the present slips through the fingers from the hands that aren't meant to touch one another; there's a distance in those present, there's movement in the lights, colours in their hearts, but time seems to stand still." "It (sehnsucht) afflicts people of every age and cultural backgrounds, but on the rush of emotions — specially on the youthful spirits, — it's an ageless shadow. When the presence by your side is capable of making you feel good, but the circumstance holds it back, the result is bitersweet: creating a memory that will carry on the ghost of what it could have been. To evade from such distractions, people whose company you cherish shouldn't be left in the dark, they must be recognised, so they can learn to recognise themselves."
