Hi axoona!

I really appreciate how real and raw this piece is. I feel like you've just let us into your world, as it is, a true and direct account of the self-talk you were going through (that I'm sure we've all been through as well). For that reason, this piece was super relatable (I found myself thinking YUP a lot of the time).

So far as form goes, I loved how you played with lineation, and all the different permutations/extensions of a single line. It reflects the iterative nature of self-talk perfectly.  If we view this as a Twine game, it's not very experimental, but if we view this as a rehashing of a traditional poem, this poem is extremely experimental! 

The way you paced the end too really blew my mind. I feel like you took us on a journey of struggle, self doubt, and eventual reconciliation. The ending totally floored me. Left me with a sense of quietude (doinglessness!) that was really precious and peaceful. Definitely a poem. Thanks so much for sharing.

To respond to your comments, first off I'm stoked you have a community that really fuels you! Pang sounds awesome. Good point about shorter jams, and if/when we do this again maybe it would be best to have a few 3-day jams rather than a continuous multi-month one.  Thanks for the idea! Live jams are great, and I wish jams like those happened more, but I do really like the fact that people all over the world have access to it. Maybe if shuf grows as an organization we can organize things like this! That'd be rad.

Here's a lil vid I made of my playing through it! So you can get live feedback (sorry I read in my head some times and it's just like silent lol)

Thank you so much for your feedback and for the video review.
I'm really thrilled (I litterally had shivers while watching :) )
To see it unfold as I have designed it and that it resonates, it's so.. touching
that it stands by it's own and that I'm understood, that's really something.

I really hope that shuf grows, it'sgreat what you do, I'll be keeping an eye and try to participate when I can :)

I've joined PangPang Club ( https://pangpangclub.itch.io/) earlier this year and it's true that this community really fuels me. The club is about doing experimental interactive things, redefine what is called a game.  The discussions are in french, but some of the works are in english.
and when I say Live jam, we were actually remotely collaborating on discord ^^'  just that we were connected at the same time so we could talk, like really talk, not just exchange text messages on chat ;) 

PS : I  noticed some frenglish words in my text, these were not on purpose, I'll have to correct that ^^'  (ex.  instead of pression it should be pressure)

can I share your vidéo on Twitter ?

Of course!
