I move around a lot, I always have. The plus side of this sometimes-tiring life is that my possessions must always be edited to perfection. Everything I own, I love. Throw away and fast fashion – not for me. It will soon be time for me to move once again, so again, it is time to sort through my life.
Of course things come and go and I do bend my rules occasionally…like for my new totally justifiable Betty B vintage fabric jumpsuit bought because; “it’s perfect for riding my new bike”. Yeah right, like I don’t have other things I could wear. But generally, I am very good.
Despite my nomadic life and progressing from child to adult there are some constants that will always be with me. My favourites are two t-shirts; the first was a gift from an aunt in Tokyo. It was faded, worn and quite frankly was not what eight year old me wanted. It came with a note; ‘Ultra fighter needs a new home’. Turns out it was actually from my very cool fifteen-year-old cousin – now I liked Ultra Fighter. My other favourite we picked up in South Africa – it simply says; Aquarians are so adventurous! It sums me up well. My most recent acquisition – a certain I heart NY tee – will for sure be taking its place among my constants from now on : )
The constants that I have are humble and everyday but they have a narrative and I love them. Consider what you have, really love it or pass it on to someone who will!!!
