my personal manifestoThu May 15 2025
the more i define myself, the more i am findable. the more i may be known, the more i may be loved.


preamble


this is the shape i return to, again and again. a process.

i am making myself. myself, i am making.


intention + attention


i aspire to ask good questions.

i aim to notice what i am noticing — to give my attention to what i want to love and grow.

i do my best not to perform certainty.

language determines and describes; i use it carefully.


honor the process


wandering is often how i arrive.

my body speaks desire before my mind can name it.

i must always allow myself to be moved.

i rarely have the capacity for urgency in my body.

love teaches what logic cannot.

the perfect day begins with a good night’s rest.


we are here to touch and be touched


friendships are my preferred medium.

i seek tools for liberation, not for control.

i look for possibility, not reduction, in another’s attributes.


movement and staying still


practice and passion move me in equal measure.

treat everything as an experiment but set a few constants to observe clearly.

rest: commit to it, just as you commit to work.

i aim to mark my life with interesting days.



xoxo,

KPK
