Fashion covers everything and involves everyone – if you want it or not, if you are aware of it or not. Fashion is an extensive and somehow disturbing phenomenon. It is that “Goddess of appearances” as Mallarmé later on defined it, it is a mysterious deity which, as it was said at the time, is the daughter of Saturn and of change, something that makes all of us – here I am quoting La Bruyère – makes all of us crazy and unstable.
Fashion did not always exist, and until the beginning of the 17th century there wasn’t even an expression to refer to it. (...). Later as fashion arose and the corresponding terms for fashion in the various European languages arose, and together with the terms, arose also lively debate on the interpretations and the consequences of fashion. A very serious word debate which is very different from today’s carelessness (...). For us, fashion is often considered something frivolous, something marginal, something that concerns especially women – and that’s not understood as praise in the debate – and concerning mostly clothes: when we think about fashion we think about clothes first. In the 17th century on the contrary it was very different. Fashionable people were primarily men, and fashion involved not only clothing, and not only the way to appear, but every possible object. That worried for example La Bruyère, that when fashion spreads, everything seems to be governed by fashion – clothes of course but also taste, lifestyle, health and consciousness. Fashion dictates the shape of clothes, the shape of wigs, but also what to eat, which medicines to use, what feelings to experience and to manifest, philosophical orientation, and and especially the attitude towards religion.

What is a healthy egoist? Is it a careless person assuming that their partner will come along on their journey through life, a careful person trying to please everyone else first or a caring person taking his or her time to figure out what’s the best way to travel for both parties? A healthy egoist loves to live in his or her special world but also to encourage their partner to do the same. #staycommitted #staycommittedtoyourgoals #gettingthingsdone #yourtime #getthingsdone #thinkingclearly #rechargeyourself #beingyourself #beingtruetoyourself #liveauthentically #wellnesslifestyle #healthybeing #caringmindset #healthyliving #healthythinking #nowmindset #intelligentmindset #winningmindset #navigatemindset #growthmindset #mentalmastery #relationshipmagic #yourbodyspeaks #listentoyourheart #listentoyourbody #listentoeachother #teamworkmakesthedreamwork #personalfreedom #healthyrelationship #healthycommunication (ved Helin Vang i Valdres) https://www.instagram.com/p/CjEJ8JLKY3N/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I said it before and I will say it again. You can have anything you want if you are willing to give up the belief that you can't have it. - #amedina203 #thursday #greatness #ready #grindhard #mindcontrol #mindandbody #mindset #liveyourwhy #successmore #successtip #successdriven #confidencebuilder #success #photooftheday #successquote #motivation #inspiration #wealthylife #positive #positivevibes #hustle #growth #beingyourself #bestrongerthanyourexcuses #liveyourmission #innergrowth #abundance #focusclub https://www.instagram.com/p/CpR_XTgOhX31oE6dO_kCul93wCdbhUBRdnfPJ40/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=
I feel that I have always been someone that trusts others easily.
Others usually also trust me easily, are very open.
Maybe it is because of my great intuition guiding me, even if I am not conscious about it. In a way I know. Is that why others know?
There are people like you, who I trust even more than usual.
I fully trust to be myself, to act as my truest self, to talk and express my truest, inner world.
Without the fear of being dismissed for any of this. You teach me the stability of another person, being able to count on you, while you never compromise yourself.
This is a priceless lesson, our friendship is extra special because of this.
I learn to truly trust, be, feel, express all of me.
I hope to be able to apply this to others as well.
Had such a GREAT day today. Feels good to be able to do what I do… just being AUTHENTICALLY myself! 😙💛🙌🏼 #smiles #happiness #smile #authenticity #beingyourself #selfie #noselfiecontrol #gay #instagay #gayman #gaydude #noh8 (at Fort Worth, Texas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CTyqpTbLsYo/?utm_medium=tumblr
When you’re being yourself wholly and fully you will bring out the true colours of the people around you🤔 ✨ These true colours might surprise you because those people appeared to be someone they weren’t for a long time and now that you’re finally being yourself they will naturally filter out of your life✅ ✨ This is the natural order of things, people come in and out of our lives and more often than not their presence has something to teach us😅 ✨ One of the best decisions of my life was pressing the reset button and removing 99% of the people around me, the majority of which were family members🧐 ✨ When I started being unapologetically me everything changed and I started living life on my own terms instead of wasting my time people pleasing😭 ✨ Being you isn’t like turning on a light switch, it’s a dial that can be turned up or down to varying degrees and some of us have had that dial turned down for so long that we forget what it feels like to turn it even halfway up🤯 ✨ How would your week be different if you turned the dial all the way up and ripped it off?🤠🥳🤯😅 ✨ #beingme #beingmyself #lovingyourself #beingyourself #lovingmyself #lovingme #lovingmefirst #lovingmyselffirst #beyourself💯 #beyourself #beyourbestself #bestself #bestversionofme #bestversionofyou (at London, Unιted Kingdom) https://www.instagram.com/p/CGSVNcgHrSR/?igshid=17mffpok4xjnb
