Bittersweet Residue: Kites and Copy

the copy chronicles 5)

it's amazing how a kite could give you satisfaction when it's up in the sky, flowing with the wind, with you gripping its string as if you really were the one in control. it's amazing how it could give you disappointment the moment it hits the ground, with you recovering the string, realising you were not the one in charge - it was the wind.

You're just making yourself believe you could let it fly.

it's amazing how a copy you've done could give you (just a little bit of) satisfaction when it's published, with you reading it as if it was really your idea.

it's amazing how it could give you disappointment the moment you realise you don't want to be associated with that project. You compromised your artistic capabilities and creative philosophies just to get that project done, the client is king after all.

You're just making youself believe you've done a good job. Wake up my dear.
