“May the bridges I burn light the way.”
Not in bitterness, and not as an ode to destruction, but as a refusal to remain tethered to what has already fallen away. There are times in life when forward movement asks for a certain kind of severance, not necessarily from people, but from former versions of yourself, from dead patterns, from the weight of hesitation, regret, or stagnation.
This piece was made in that spirit.
A private marker for the act of continuing. For choosing direction over attachment. For understanding that not everything left behind is a loss; sometimes it becomes the very thing that clarifies the road ahead.
What is gone has done its work.
What remains is the way forward.
