@playboixcarson As someone that works in advertising, you’re not tweaking lmao. They rolled out new ad placements recently so that’s what you’re seeing. It’s definitely excessive.
Life changes. You lose love. You lose friends. You lose pieces of yourself that you never imagined would be gone. And then, without you even realizing it, these pieces come back. New love enters. Better friends come along. And a stronger, wiser you is staring back in the mirror.
Sometimes you’re out of alignment in friendship. It’s okay to recognize that…step away and allow time to do what needs to be done. Sometimes you become friends again and sometimes you don’t. Either way it’s what’s best. Everything doesn’t need to be some big drama.
This is one of my favorite details from the halftime show: the ribbed knit top worn while waving Haiti’s flag was basically a quiet conversation with history.
It echoes photographer Jay Maisel’s Haiti, 1973 series, specifically the picture "Haiti No. 59".
Maisel once said those images came from “a nostalgic view of better times,” and somehow that nostalgia found its way onto one of the biggest stage in the world.
From a street corner in 1973 and a fresko cart to a global halftime show decades later, same colors, same soul, "same" Haiti.
Fashion as memory. Culture as continuity. 🇭🇹✨
Thank you for this ❤️ @_dilemmer
