Untitled Musing
ALL BAD THINGS THAT FELL INTO ME WERE WILLED INTO EXISTENCE BY THE MORASS OF MY BEING MEMORIES OF LAUGHTER AND ILLUMINATED WARMTH
ARE SKITTISH WHEN CALLED UPON
AS IF MY JOY RENDERS ITSELF THE MOST TEMPORAL AND FLEETING MOMENT IN ALL OF TIME'S BREATH
LONGING IS LOVING
LOVING IS HARD
LOVE IS A UNIVERSAL DUTY
WHEN SEARCHING FOR COMMUNITY, ONE CAN EITHER
CREATE OR ASSIMILATE
THE LATTER HAS NEVER WORKED IN MY FAVOUR MUST FIND THE COURAGE TO LET MY HEART
BE AN INN TO THOSE LIKE ME
STAND TOE TO TOE IN THE FACE OF REJECTION
IT IS THE ONLY MEANS OF SURVIVAL
I WILL NOT BE LOST TO THE WORLD WITHOUT KNOWING WHAT IT IS TO FIND THE GOODNESS IN ITS OFFERINGS
About the Artist: Mimi
The piece “Untitled Musing” is a poignant manifestation of an ongoing turbulent journey through self-discovery and finding a sense of belonging. Like most of my work, "Untitled Musing" serves as a personal reflection and broader commentary on navigating one's place in the world, amidst societal expectations and its labours.
As a self-proclaimed artist and archivist writer mostly known as Mimi, my work under "Emerging Entity" exhibits a lifelong exploration of identity, sensitivity, and the intricate feelings that shape our livelihoods. Through a collection of poetry, visual art, and music, I aim to ReArchive and amplify the unspoken internal struggles and triumphs.
In light of my own neurodivergence, mental health has always been at the core of my work and eventual pride. My creativity is a testament to my strength, seeking to understand the forces that shaped me and preserving all episodes of vulnerability, both light and dark. Emergence is a sacred state that only occurs when complexities interact with one another and ultimately, like my art, is about connection—with self, others, and the wider world.
