What absences enable communication to be potent? Can there be utility in an
intention toward humiliation? What is a productive dynamic between suppression
of will and the capacity to deter habitual mind frames?
Over the years I have written emails with compulsion and obsession. Writing
emails is probably my favorite activity. Frequently I write them in states with
diminished inhibition. Many mornings I wake with an embarrassment or regret that
lingers through the daylight. Maybe the tone had been too angry and violent;
sometimes, too loving.
But more than not it’s the only way I am able to say what I haven’t been able to say,
and I value honest communication.
Here are all of my sent emails from a formative three-year period of my life. I have
crossed out mant of the names and the intimate moments regarding the details of
those other than myself. Side-note: Photo Booth is not something from which I have
benefitted.
