It’s been a few days since I released this essay, and I still find myself thinking about it. Not so much about the words, but about what pushed me to write them in the first place. I didn’t realize how much I had been holding in until I began to articulate it. The way fashion feels now, the pace of it, the noise, it’s all so familiar, almost identical to the feeling of scrolling through the internet. It’s the same rhythm of exhaustion masked as excitement
What I keep returning to is the idea of patience. How rare it’s become, how uncomfortable it feels to stand still when everything moves like a current. But to me, this stillness is attention. And attention is what everything seems to be losing. And maybe that's why I wrote it. To remind myself that we don't always need to keep up, that something made slowly can still matter, and most of the time, maybe even more
Meaning isn't gone. It's just waiting for us to slow down enough to find it again. I guess that's what I want to say all along🌹 0 reply
