.sighswoon's internet writing is made physical, with a collection you can slip into any bag for when you want to microdose existentialism.
It's honestly been so great because so much of the stuff I've shared has always been on the internet. It just feels more profound than I thought. It feels like something new has opened. I read reviews on Goodreads, I don't know; there's this whole thing happening.I'm always half-half, I always put out something that's my taste, but then the other 50% is people’s response that teaches me where it is. With this, I’m like "Okay. People like it.
But what I find so interesting about that is when I started showing myself, that's when opportunities kind of started to happen, actual real ones. And I just think psychologically, people just like to know where things are coming from. It adds a layer. So that was really interesting to see. But yeah, anonymous for a long time.I guess I've always been a serial sharer in a way.
Then, as I was working with them, it really showed me what I really wanted to do, which was to make the book that I think all the followers wanted, which was really just all of the different content mixed together and refined a bit more. It's the captions that people loved, but longer form and edited. The poems that people loved, talking about love, and having a couple guides in there, but also talking about existential stuff.
As you said, there is that difference where it's uneditable, you know what I mean? The internet is this funny thing. I was thinking where it's in between ideas and solids, because ideas are so fluid, they come and go. Then the internet is this mini offering where it's structured. I don't know, I just feel like the internet can be turned off at any second or you could just delete it. This book is ... I can't get rid of it.
People are very quick to call something “Instagram poetry” as an insult. I feel like people can be very reductive about it. I think it's a mixture of both. Some stuff does feel very youthful to me. I think a lot of it is the love stuff. That's why I put it at the beginning, because the trajectory that me and the editor chose was how you experience the profoundness of life for me started with heartbreak. That's the first time you're like, I'm experiencing a big unknown feeling. Then my first big lessons were always from love and heartbreak and crushes.
