".. I had the sense that brokenness meant approach and that beauty was something mixed of

shadow and decay. That it was made, in part, from the pieces of the past and the things that are

left behind." - Reading Come to the Edge

Routine

Here are a few photos that I have found suitably inspiring for

this gorgeous pre-summer day.

Thinking lately about routine, I have come to recognize the importance of

both salvaging traditional practices and refurbishing - and sometimes banishing - certain

harmful patterns. Similar to our wardrobes, in life we need to purge those unhealthy

coping practices (i.e the fact that I never fail to load my closet with grey, black, and plain) 

and develop a fresh perspective and a bold approach to our everyday self experience.

Routine is not a pattern of the same behaviour, but an outlook that we should utilize to build our

self esteem upon. A repertoire of nourishing elements to our inner and outer beauty, I think that a routine can only be negative if we encourage our worst traits to over-power our strength.

To me, it is a healthful approach to daily survival and self-love.
