It's probably a confession, but when I write about a slow life, I'm actually also trying to convince myself.
Taking things slowly, relaxing and don't pressure myself can cause me a lot of anxiety, as I feel that my mind is still conditioned into an overprotective mindset.

Love has subjugated me:
to me this is no surprise,
for she is strong and I am weak.
Formerly I was rich, now I am poor:
everything is lost in love.

This week's #TwentiesTuesday garment is this c. 1923-26 ensemble, designed by Decio Rossi for Lucile. The brown and orange silk velvet robe, worn over a silk underdress, is an example of the type of deshabille popular for entertaining at home. V&A collection. #Fashionhistory

Civility
Rote routes to civility,
A march of pre-set, vacant smiles
that stretches on for endless miles.
