I Removed My Now Page
My updates stopped last October.
I feel that my present is no longer the present.
My now may have already become the past.
Or perhaps I don’t need to explain it.
This is my boundary with the present.
In the past,
my now was many people’s now.
But it wasn’t only mine.
I got lost in other people’s present,
and couldn’t even tell whose now it was.
So now, I want to remove my now page — a page that promotes the present — to express how I think about “now.”
At this very moment, I am digesting all the emotions I cannot explain.
I am lying on the bed in the opposite direction,
my arms forming the shape of nine o’clock.
I am listening to my favorite music, staring at the ceiling.
I can no longer move.
now I’m thinking about how to express the idea of now
now I want to be an artist, a dancer, a writer, and a gamer
now I want to look in the mirror
now I’m opening the curtain
now I don’t want to be better
now
only now am I truly reading a book
now I won’t easily share what I like
now I am finally writing this down
I wonder where you are now
