Poetry Development

The poems in [ Narcissistic Disorder] is basicly made by my memory memos.


I am not a person that will express myself to the person I love, I thought it was enough to love him through my actions. I will go thousands of miles for real just to be there with him, but I will show up like ' I was just here for personal business, though I want to visit you by the way.'. 
I rarely said 'I love you', and I didn't cry in front of him when he turned away.

He used to say that I looked too calm for everything, so he can't tell if I really cared.

I did, and I didn't tell him that because he was leaving.

Those memos I have were wrote during that time, when I got that fist-pump feeling in my chest so loud or I just can't stop smiling for something incredibly silly, I pen them down on a piece of paper, memos at most of time. It could be just a sentence or even just a word, but I will kept them in record because I was afraid that I will forget.

The temperature of his upper arm, texture of tatoo on the skin, the stupid laugh and sun-kissed afternoon in Italian restaurant drinking white wine, and those crying and heart break, there have been documented in here. A small piece of paper recorded those small things that crossed my mind at that moment.


My emotions became a huge piles of papers and memos lying in a box.

That is the real big reason why my project is called [ Narcissistic Disorder], not because there are my selfie inside ( that is part of unexpected development because my model is pregnant ) because all the words inside happened in my head at one time and I kept them in sentences like storage files in electronic bytes.

To form the poems, I took out all the memos and papers, stick them on the wall or place them on the floor and I just look closely to find the match for those sentence, put them together and smooth out the expression.

It takes many experiments to finally got my poems right as what I want them to be.













































Sometimes it feels wrong when I put 2 sentences together 5 minutes after, then I will stick them back to the wall to try something new. This is how I get my poems in the book, and by living through all the words in it, memories have made it really special to me.

I do apologize that I can't hand in the paper copy of my development because they are very important to me, so I have took as many photos as I can.
