It’s a want of care. Want of respect. Want to not dismiss but discuss. Want of thinking about it. Pondering. Questioning. Want of making a conscious decision that came from unaware. However small or impactful it might be. An intuitive one. It carries consequences. Want of visualization, conveying without explaining. Want to be considerate, compassionate, and be a human being. Of feeling and remembering. Ephemeral. Reminiscing upon a reminder. A flaw that is viewed as a characteristic. Want to cherish and not temporarily fulfill it meaninglessly.

Elements that go into my work, whatever they might be, come from my being.
