I'm becoming the version of me who burns the fancy candle instead of saving it.

It sat unlit for two years, waiting for an occasion that apparently never qualified.

Saving it wasn't respect. It was just a slow way of never getting to have it.

04

It's a Tuesday. I lit it anyway. The occasion was me.

The rest of the shelf

18 entries are the kitchen. This is 8. Every object here is a still from that entry's own footage.
