Jay Critch - Close To Me / Active (Official Video)

Being a young adult still living with an abusive family

-people at work like and respect me but I feel like a kid at home -I know how to take care of myself but I look like I don’t because no money -humiliation or teasing = are we sure I’m not ten? -getting manipulated into signing up for even more activities you don’t want but you can’t really say no -“what are your plans?” *horrifyingly realizes I’m parroting my parents* -“you spend a lot of time with your mom, you two must be really close” -have I ever made my own choices? Like even once? -constant. Guilt. For not standing up for myself and for daring to think bad things about them

Accusa segreta, oil on canvas, c: 1847-1848

by Francesco Hayez (Italian, 1791-1882)

We read a lot about broken people doing terrible things in the media at the moment. But the flipside is that broken people can do and make beautiful things too. It’s easy to reel off a long list of people who were broken one way or another and made amazing contributions to the world’s of music and art, for example. This is my small tribute to those people. The use of a category of typeface known as Fraktur is a typographic pun, Fraktur is German for fracture, or broken. It’s a charming letterpress typeface from the early 20th Century that I found in P98 Studio in Berlin. Many of the wood block letterforms were too archaic to read, or missing, so substitutions that aren’t typographically correct were made. The result is a warm, quirky, imperfect jumble of qualities, much like many people are. Special thanks to Axel at P98, Marc Thiele and Erik Spiekermann.
