This was last season taken on my Kodak - Jacarandas blooming, me pretending I’m the main character in an indie film shot on 16mm -ˋˏ ༻❁༺ ˎˊ-

The flowers scattered across the grass reminded me of that one scene in Twilight with Edward and Bella in the meadow

✨ All Hopped Up on Joy ✨

There’s something powerful about a kid absolutely beaming in an outfit that makes no sense to adults but every bit of sense to them.

The floppy bunny ears. The hoodie with the cartoon version of himself as a bunny also wearing a hoodie. The unapologetically vivid vest that says “I am my own highlighter.” It’s not costume. It’s conviction.

This isn’t fashion—it’s identity construction in motion. It’s myth-making, but with gummy worms in your pocket. And that carousel in the background? That’s not a ride. That’s the world spinning fast while you stay right at the glowing center, laughing so hard your future self will still remember it when things get hard.

There’s also a life-size bunny driving a miniature car in the background, but we’re just going to accept that without question. As one does.

Because the best moments of childhood aren’t the ones that make sense. They’re the ones that make magic.
