re-tro.

___________________________________
i'm beginning to fall in love with retro. there is such beauty in the simplicity of that era, perfect example being this font. just makes everything seem so much more sincere, so much more real, so much more understanding.

4th of july. the first perfect weather day of the year. took long enough. I find myself rather confused today, accompanying the rest of my room at 1 am--as we together absorb the flashing rumbles that break up the night sky. Confused to a point where i've just dazed myself into alternate forms of thought and desire all day.

i guess this being my first day off in such a long time, i cannot seem to interpret the odd feelings of emptiness, dis-fulfillment and questions of such decor: "why is time the way it is" and "what's really going on right now".

the black & whites, the browns, the neutrals were all once part of the distinct palette in capturing life years ago. its as if these natural colors of the universe have the power to embed truth in whatever it beholds. crumpled lined paper, inky pens, smiles of past desires have all become somewhat of an odd fantasy for the modern me. so what im saying is old is gold? that re-tro is a way for us to redo life in a way that requires us to use our past to brighten up and enhance our days today? that truth to live our lives is found embedded in those black & white memoirs of our lives. the only problem that i have is incorporating the lessons w/o the reminder and the reinstatement of past hurts, pain, and destruction.

today's take home: re-instate retro. bring back the basics. let the new pain be a new story, NOT an extension of an old one. for this is something that i cannot seem to overcome. so i encourage you to join me in making new stories. and if you're like me and pain is what your story is about right now and from times past, then just keep on reminding yourself that black & whites make anything and everything look amazing. Godbless.
