People possess different selves. A witty self, a despondent self. A self that mocks, a self that appreciates. A personal self, a professional self. When Mappings was born in 2006, he also gave birth to my personal selves, raw and revealed. My pain, my passion. Or better said, in the words of Vikram Seth, he gave birth to "my pulse, my vagrant selves, my poetry"
Three years have passed since the birth of Mappings, and while he grows stronger and braver, he also learns to be acquainted with another self, which has recently been born - his professional self. Mappings must learn to support himself in a world hat steadily grows harsher and more competitive, and this is his first step. While his personal self is devoted solely to virgin and naked thoughts, his professional self is devoted to showcasing his work, his art, his opinions, his politics, his bread. From 9 to 5, Mappings will don a suit and be a brave, bright soldier on his working way.
Good luck, my Mappings.
