Be chalant. Care deeply, speak openly, express things fully. The internet made everyone believe sincerity is cringe and emotional distance is maturity. Meanwhile the people actually enjoying life are the ones allowing themselves to be excited, emotional, passionate, invested. Existing like you are too cool to care about anything is such a dull way to experience being alive.
I told my therapist, "I feel safest when I do everything alone." She didn't even ask why. She just said:
"That's not independence. That's grief." And I swear, I felt something in me break open. Because it is grief, isn't it? Grief for every time you asked for help and no one showed up. Grief for being the child who had to hold it all together while everyone else fell apart. Grief for realizing, way too young, that no one was ever really coming to save you. You didn't choose to be strong you had to be. Because breaking wasn't safe. Crying didn't change anything. And needing people only led to disappointment, guilt, or punishment. So you grew up over-prepared. You move through life with backup plans for your backup plans. You, double check doors, messages, emotions-everything. You carry the weight of "I'll handle it" even when you're breaking inside. People call you "independent," but they don't see the version of you who secretly wants to collapse in someone's arms and actually be caught this time.
Whoever came up with this is a genius.
Immediately recognisable brand code literally intertwined with a desired luxury ingredient, strengthening the desirability of the new product line which also contains said luxury ingredient. All while looking expensive at a fraction of the price of a celebrity shoot. 👏
มุมที่ชอบมากในลูฟวร์คือทุกคนไปมุงกันเพื่อดู the famous little monalisa ซึ่งตั้งตรงข้ามกับ the wedding feast at cana แล้วถ้าเราหันหลังจากโมนาลิซ่า ทุกคนในมิวเซียมก็จะเป็นส่วนหนึ่งใน the wedding (ไม่รู้เขาตั้งใจจัดแบบนี้มั้ย คงตั้งใจ สวยมากนะ)
