“I’ve joined myself today for the official burial, sacrifice, funeral, of @nektine.
Thank you all for being with me here on this momentus ocassion. I do not take lightly the appreciation, completion and changes in one’s identity.
I stand here, humbly, simply a product of those before me, resemblant of desires passed through me. resemblant of loves fated for me to believe in.
Time passes through us all, and movement is the only truth, and all fingers have pointed, to this inevitable fate of the death of nektine.
nektine, is a familiar taste, an identity bowed to modern expressions of this digital era. I was once simply austin, but today proves that even the manmade exudes real breathing and mortal life. nektine is me, and will continue to be me, for its involvement in my identity and the space it provided for partitionment, change, fantasy, and grounding.
september 28th, 2016 nektine came into this world, nervous, scared, but devoted to leaving its mark in the digital space. Today, october 14, 7 years late, nektine devotes and hands off its ownership to the passing of time. today, all memory of nektine will not be forgotten, but cherished, celebrated, and released into the colorful void. I have so much more to say, but words can only go so far to express my gratitude for nektine’s presence, and my community’s exceptance of nektine.
with these final words, I invite nektine to live on,
“What is quickly learned, is soon forgotten.”
From now on, my presence shall be known as Reality Composer.
Thank you. ”
