As cringey as that decade can feel in retrospect, there is something precious about the daringness of it all. Whether we were influencers or not, strive runs hard in those years. Art is created.
As the veil begins to fall in our fourth decade, we can begin return to ourselves. It’s like a rite of passage.
P.s. love that you shared those pictures. They’re fantastic.
Thank you! And you're so right, it's cringe but it was at least kind of earnest at the time so I can't fully hate it. I feel like I spent a lot of time pushing back against it and now have reached a sort of calm equilibrium. Neither outwardly striving nor put-on effortless, but a secret third thing.
