I took this picture at a party last weekend because I was washing my hands and thought “wow, I look beautiful !” And that thought didn’t come because I looked 10 years younger than I actually am, or that my skin was perfect. It was because I was surrounded by people I love and that love me and I was shining.
I love that I can see every past version of myself in my face. I love that you can see all I’ve lived through. Aging is a gift and I won’t take it for granted!!
As per usual I’ll probably delete this picture by tomorrow because I enjoy being perceived as an immortal wizard. Feels true.
i’m just gonna say it:
the true secret sauce ingredient
to being cool, is getting older—
you’ll never be as cool at 20,
as you will be at 30—it’s a fact;
the more you know about who you
truly are, the cooler you become.
especially the track “what a wonderful thing love is”. religion has never been a part of my life but listening to this album feels something like church to me.
by david ritz. Devastated me. Some parts were so honest and revealing that I had to step away from it for a couple days, like I had lifted the veil off something not meant for me. A perspective into the responsibility of the non-artist and what can happen when we put them on a pedestal, unknowingly stripping them of their humanity + a reminder of how honest his music was.
