Gentrification is a planned obsolescence, a sanitizing of the most human parts of us.

We say home, by which we mean body, by which we mean relearning all our absences, praying for survival even as we are going and gone already.

I would say the biggest achievement in life is creating your own identity because there's too many duplicates in this world. Everyone wants to stand out and be noticed, but the more you do that..the more you are like everyone else.

Maxine Wright - “Planned Obsolescence”

In my neighborhood we got a saying, we say home. By which we mean body, by which we mean this your blood. This a place you can’t run from. These streets are your fingerprints girl, bless the world with their caress.
