"I need to believe (and to practice this belief) that a person is not composed of the things they buy, or how beautifully they can ice a cake, or how wonderfully decorated their interior space is, unless we are talking about the interior space of a person rather than their home, and I need to run run run as far away as I can from staged ‘peeks’ into things that are unutterably beautiful because of their inherent complexity and messiness and difficulty, things like: love, partnership, commitment, friendship, the making of a home and a family, all of which when blogged about often leaves the realm of the real, the meaningful, the sublime, and becomes nothing more than uninspiring, unoriginal, curated prettiness."
