dM: Flares are back!

Thursday, March 10, 2016

Don't you just love the way the night sparkles? There is so much more magic that happens at night that we need to stop sometimes and just look up. Yes, look up from our phones, emails and papers. Are there places in your city that you have not visited yet? Are you bored of doing the same thing every weekend or not having anything to do at times? If you answered yes to any of these questions then you need to listen my friend.

Sometimes experimenting out of your comfort zone is difficult. It is the same as getting up in front of an audience to make a speech or going to a job interview. It might be nerve-racking at first but once its done you have a definite proud moment. The inspiration for this outfit is a direct line to what I'm saying. Back in the 70's the vibe and culture were completely different. People were carefree and there was more spreading of peace and love. Young people didn't have phones, god forbid, so what did they do? They lived their lives! Yes, they went to concerts and festivals, they jammed to the Bee Gees at the local roller center and they gathered around campfires while stargazing. So what's the difference here? Well, actually there isn't any. We would rather stay at home and binge watch movies on Netflix than go out and have a picnic or hike with our significant other. Parents would rather buy their kids gadgets to "keep them busy" rather than taking them outside and just letting them run wild.

Finally, I'm not here to scold anyone but to inspire adventure. Please, have an impromptu date night and just go out without actually planning anything. Hang out with the kids at sky zone. Go out alone and just enjoy a solo shopping day. I have actually done all three and let me tell you I've never had more fun. Life shouldn't be about how many posts or how many likes, it should be about how many places I've been to and how many minds I have touched. So what are you waiting for? Be a wild child and run free!
