❤My Favourite Things
I'm almost finished with Prince Harry's Memoir "Spare" and I like it. I don't feel like reviewing it since memoires by definition are someone's very personal life experience and I don't really see the point of commenting about it. Read and make up your own opinion.
“It occurred to me then that identity is a hierarchy. We are primarily one thing, and then we're primarily another, and then another, and so on, until death- in succession. Each new identity assumes the throne of Self, but takes us further from our original self, perhaps our core self- the child. Yes, evolution, maturation, the path towards wisdom, it's all natural and healthy, but there's a purity to childhood, which is diluted with each iteration.”
― Prince Harry, Spare
I've been listening to Falls by ODESZA, I heard it in some movie or season I think and immediately liked it, even though now I can't remember what movie or show that was. If you know the show, let me know y replying to this email.
Learning some photoshop using built in tutorials and my skills are not so great as to practice in public yet, no matter what the guru's say, so for now I will keep them to myself.
