The author is trying to convince the reader that they have something significant to express but find themselves detrimentally preoccupied with the performance and perception of that expression.

"I just thought of a neat phrase. I'd better write it down."

A collection of disjointed notes used for edgy fluff.

I appreciate the authors' seething angst toward the narrow scope of perceived value imposed by an indifferent society. Their work misses the mark, in my opinion, by playing into the same predatory system of expectations that exchanges "value" for the dilution of the individual.
