A layman’s perspective of the fabric and clothing industry over the years

 

Clothes used to be made better. I have a t-shirt that my mom got from J.C. Penney in the 90’s and it’s still in great shape and I still wear it today. I don’t know how long my clothes are going to last, but safe to say they’re likely not going to last that long. Even IKEA wasn’t chipboard in the 90’s, from what I hear. 

In Defense of a Slower Life

I read a lot of books and blogs and websites and articles and research papers. I love learning new things. I don't always apply/implement those things in my life. Isn't knowledge enough, sometimes? The world is getting faster every day. It's about doing and moving and hustling. I don't want to hustle. I want to live my life.

Do You Think You're Beautiful?

Do you think you are beautiful? If you do, is it because you've been told you are? If you don't, is it because you haven't? 

I have read multiple articles across various platforms, written by women who are so affected by other people's opinions of their body and their life. Don't be. Society doesn't deserve that kind of attention from you. What is society, anyway? A vague, faceless, teeming mass of people who don't have anything to do with you - they just want to judge you and give you unwarranted advice. You didn't ask for their inputs. So why do you listen?
