Let someone love you just the way you are – as flawed as you might be, as unattractive as you sometimes feel, and as unaccomplished as you think you are. To believe that you must hide all the parts of you that are broken, out of fear that someone else is incapable of loving what is less than perfect, is to believe that sunlight is incapable of entering a broken window and illuminating a dark room.

I actually really need to keep reminding this to myself.

The work of Kenji Nakayama

Kenji’s diverse practice ranges from careful pinstriping and gilded lettering to hand-cut, multi-layered stencil paintings. Each intricately carved stencil painting is a unique manifestation of documenting and responding to the environment surrounding him, and often takes months to complete. His work serves as a personal diary of experience and influence, and his process can be described as a balance between meditation and highly-trained craftsmanship. Music, solitude, humor, motorcycles, and urban decay serve as direct sources of inspiration. 

I love this as a decor idea!

On TV, a woman learns that human worth means beauty and that beauty means being thin, white, young and rich.
She learns that her body is really disgusting the way it is, and that she needs all kinds of expensive cosmetics to cover it up…
She learns that being a “real woman” means being all the things she isn’t and having all the things she can’t have.

It is the height of irony that women are valued for our looks, encouraged to make ourselves look beautiful and ornamental and are then derided as shallow and vain for doing so.
