Gravity

I hope she knows you only like the beginnings of things.  

Faye to Don, Mad Men, Season 4



It doesn't really take any work, kinda like gravity.  Attraction--it's so easy.  Not just attraction to people, but to ideas, aesthetics, music ... musicians (okay, okay, musicians are people).  But what I'm attempting to say is, "liking the beginnings" is built into our genetic make-up.  I can't explain it other than ... YSL heels ... these beautifully crafted wonders that open up my wallet quite effortlessly.  I wear them and feel so pretty.  But, they eventually lose some of their shine, just in time for next season's brand new crop of decadence to accompany my perfect pedicure and the urge to reopen my wallet.  Cycle.


So, we know it's connected to feelings.  You know, FEELINGS ... finicky and fleeting.   Relationships, shoes, feelings ... here's to "liking the beginnings of things."  Cheers.
