It is making me feel crazy how normalized plastic surgery is becoming and how many people I interact with see that as a positive or neutral thing. As a teenager, I felt like we were making strides in accepting different types of beauty or even just focusing less on beauty in general and it feels like we're moving backwards. Because what even is beauty and why do we love it?
Is something beautiful by nature, by visual, or by the response it invokes? Is art beautiful by itself or is it the story, emotion, or technique? Whether it's sharing photos, videos, or other forms of art, we're so inundated by images of beauty that it begins to overwhelm the allure of the everyday. Missing the trees for the forest, and the leaves for the trees.

Sylvia Plath's fig tree but I'm shoving every fig within reach into my mouth and letting the juice run down my chin.

Big weekend for a first blog post - woke up on Friday to the news that the German government approved our application for reclaimed citizenship (yay EU passport and visiting family more often)!!
Then had an Over the Garden Wall watch party at our friends' last night, one of my favorite traditions of the season.
The chilly air and rains have finally started, giving some much needed indoor chill time. Excited to feel snow in the wind.
