let lemons be angry

Finally the system is over, and I can stop thinking about goodbyes. I made this project because I have survived departure after departure after departure. Forgetting and forgetting, leaving, staying, watching. Because I know that people leave-- it's part of life. They pass through open spaces and make their homes from borrowed love. They go, and nobody is ever the same again. And all the people who chose to leave first, who packed their emotional luggage and decided never to be present anymore, this was made because of them.

I put the camera in front of me and started talking about the saddest departures in my life. But when I played it back it was no sadder than any other story I'd collected. Everybody has had people leave them, everybody has left some place for another. My stories had accumulated so much value to me, but put in a film, they became unselected footage. Nothing more than unselected footage then, is what my life's drama has been.

We're just fish, swimming in exaggerated circles round our castle, thinking the tank is full of change and adventure.

But how i wish my stories were unique.
