I’ve been thinking a lot about the experience of cringe. This started with my introduction to meta modernism and it’s values of sincerity and earnestness. I’m finding this idea interesting because, it’s a framework that allows me to embrace myself, to take pride in being me, to fully let me experience my inner world, in writing, in making and sharing cool shit. In doing so, I say fuck you to whatever was the force that once made me second guess myself and my desires and decisions. This is a sincere attempt from me to be honest with myself. This is me being authentic. The expression of it may seem performative, and often it is, but that’s okay. All expressions is performative, I might as well be performative with my true desires.
