Aka: backlog.
Meaning:

Think about all that cringe texts, bad style, undefined form, broken rules and/or proportions, unmatched colors, messed up code, tangled threads, short circuted wires and generally all that playfull and/or angsty mess that made you the person you'
re now. All the mistakes you've ever survived making, to live yet another
day, and to never tell anybody about.
"Well, that project was
fun while it lasted, now it's utterly
fubar. I've put to much time and effort to simply scrap it. well, then, off the seventh wall you go."
"I had this one project I really wanted to finish... It should be just beyond the seventh wall. Just a quick look....
Oh, me... oh, my..."
