"perception//performance" was part of a now-abandoned project where i was writing out my weeks in pieces addressed to various people in my life. i added the footnotes recently to show the loss that has occurred since then, as well as observe where i was using my writing to try and convince myself i believed something. i love how the footnotes show the passage of time, how writing can become dated so quickly, and allowed me to comment on my former words.
