Valentine Mirror

Romanticizing life is simply seeing the world, not as a set of traps, but as a teacher of valuable lessons. The more love infuses perspective, even the seemingly uncomfortable aspects of daily life, the more I can joke on an intimately spiritual level with the universe. There is a subtle sense of humour in every moment. Secret spells casted with every photo captured. Wrapping up my week in a heart-shaped box. Nirvana blasting through my headphones.

establishing a secret handshake with the full moon

seeing your shadow at night because the moon is so bright.

never keep your truck too clean. a canvas for your friends to leave you notes.

picking a friend up for an art show. when the neighbours bark at you it means they love your outfit.

My favourite fact about my friend summer is that she can cry on demand.

bar bathrooms have the richest clues, and keep the best secrets.

noting to self: carry a paint marker in every purse

film photos & jukeboxes: a love language

“since we all dont know each other, let’s play a game”

I used to play this on a plug-n-play on my VHS tv as a child.

pulling cards, drinking tea, and hugging your dog after a night of dancing with your friends— connecting dots

setting intentions before a night out on the town looks like ^

The Tao of Pooh by Benjamin Hoff. (my “alchemist”)

visits from cornflake, the bird who was looking for snacks on my back porch… my mom sprinkled some cereal in the snow

“look! cornflake brought freinds”

“walk through the grass… talk to the animals.. that sort of thing..”

I find rest knowing after a week like this, full of windows and portals, my pockets are full of gold. yours are too.

attached to nothing, connected to everything.

Love, Selena༄.
