I've been working on some narrative to give context to a sequence of images I had commissioned from Ficus last fall. Ostensibly a tale about transformation, the TF itself is just of a catalyst for exploring some potentially heavy metaphor.

The tale may be a bit emotionally intense. Then again, I am not a writer by any stretch, so your mileage may vary; reading this may instead be the literary equivalent of licking sandpaper.

Have you ever found yourself suddenly (or seemingly so) in support of--or even a part of--something you had previously opposed?

How substantial was that experience, and how did you manage those mental gymnastics?

Ultimately, it feels as though there just is not enough of me to go around.

This is quite curious, as before, I would have generally felt there was far too much of me than I cared for.

At the same time, though, I don't want to give up either. Even though I've only been involved in these certain virtual social circles (such as here) for less than a year now--and despite my recent inability to maintain a constant presence in some of them--they have become almost as important to me as if they had been there all along.

I feel like part of me has split-off and formed it's own identity, but not one that is completely independent. I am aware of both sides at any given time--the issue comes when I have to rectify my availability in one world with that of the other, and I fear at times it may be slowly eroding the stability of my original life.

Does anyone else experience a marked disparity between their social presentation and experiences in the online world in comparison to their day-to-day lives in offline meatspace? How do you address it and find balance?

Over the past half-year-plus, I seem to have developed a markedly different self from the one I maintain day-to-day for in-person interactions. While realizing that this is not uncommon in general, I am genuinely curious as to others' experiences.

Scar-light, scar-bright
First scar I see tonight
I whiskey may
I whiskey might
Have this whiskey wish tonight

My best friend and I still love this horribly campy film from our youth:
