There’s a way we romanticize things, people, places, events, that is so interesting. One of many masks we elaborately assemble and collect, uphold and establish. The special ones, the ones we hold sacred and golden, often benefit from the shine of time.

An event I’m engaged with, a part of, living and breathing will never hold the same romance and sparkle as something that has been completed. Sealed by days gone by, infinite in its illusion. A story from five years ago, words you heard on the street last week, all preserved as a moment in time. Ripe and ready for you to embalm and encase with your own sense of self-importance and gravitas.
