Why I hate fashion | Tanya Gold | Life and style |... →
A confession – it’s been stalking me for years now, this crawling disdain for fashion; the certainty that it is not an ally but an enemy. The older I am, the more disenchanted I am with what is meant to make us beautiful. Now, at 36, I believe it is one of the ultimate evils in the universe, along with yoghurt.

When a writer doesn't write
It is because her thoughts have misaligned themselves against her verbal stream, which slows to a clumpy trickle. The wellspring of words from which she dips (to select the pearliest pearls) evaporates before her. She is a lone navigator who has lost her map and must use an internal compass to lead her back to safer, more eloquent shores: she must go with what she knows.
In short, she must write...

To see the person you once loved most & feel...
The most liberating fucking thing in the world.
Tonight I had a random encounter that could have turned the evening on its head, me on my heel (& straight home to bed). But instead I chose, wisely, to be blind.
I chose not to see, to acknowledge, to even minorly indulge the moment. Coincidences only are something more if you allow them to be.
My emotions vanished.
