Retreating for a spell. Life, with all its insistence, has pressed in on me, and my thoughts have drifted into their own restless corners. I imagine the days ahead might soften, that clarity could arrive like unexpected sunlight. And yet, for now, I linger in the uncertainty, not knowing what shape tomorrow will take.

For now, I'll let the queue spin madly on.

with love,

Historian and museum sleuth, Tyrone Demery goes back to the age of the Baroque to uncover the hidden history of one of the world's most stunning portraits ever painted.

spend more time actualizing your goals than visualising them

[aetas-aurea]

The older I get the more convinced I become that the most genuinely attractive quality a woman can have is the visible impression that her life is full without you in it. Not performed aloofness, not manufactured scarcity, not games, an actual life with actual substance and actual joy that does not have a vacancy sign hanging in the window waiting for someone to come along and make it worthwhile. That quality is built through the accumulation of genuine experiences, genuine interests, genuine friendships, genuine ambitions, and it cannot be faked in any sustained way because it is either there or it is not. Build the life first. The rest follows from that and follows easily.​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​​
