This book is filled with incandescent memories and realizations. It's filled with reflections, revelations, a testament to what once was and love letters to what could be, little notes written here and there, noted, annotated, breathed , and lived. It's a compendium, a will, that views the complicated feelings that lie in ones mind, the feeling of not feeling enough, feeling too human and yet not enough at the same time, and a reminder that you're not alone in this complicated world. For if you take at least one thing from this book, let it be that.
Struggles have never been so beautiful. TENDER by FULLOFMOON is an exploration of the human experience, delving into abstract yet universal struggles. Through experimental use of various literary devices, classical references, political theories, economic concepts, and diverse structures, it addresses uncomfortable emotions, world systems, existential questions, and infatuations (with people, things, and the self.) By employing relatable subject matter and simple language, TENDER seeks to show how deeply beautiful our tender encounters truly are.
