Curate, connect, and discover
Conformity - Blog Posts
Each man had only one genuine vocation - to find the way to himself….His task was to discover his own destiny - not an arbitrary one - and to live it out wholly and resolutely within himself. Everything else was only a would-be existence, an attempt at evasion, a flight back to the ideals of the masses, conformity and fear of one’s own inwardness.

Me: what does "dress like a girl" even mean?
Also Me: Hey [ma shopping pal], I think the women's clothes are on that side of the store.

That box there is this weirdly specific hair
colour whose name
sounds like a desperate student’s last ditch
efforts to meet the word count

overenthusiastic writer’s sensory description
That t-shirt is designed to make you look slim
Mirrors are our enemies
Make-up our allies
and we gobble it up,
Burying our identities in
Consumer debt and social expectations.
