L’esprit d’escalier (French)
The feeling you get after leaving a conversation, when you think of all the things you should have said. Literally translate to “the spirit of the staircase”.

Without trying to sound like an obnoxiously idealistic hippie, I don’t think I’d take anything. Or at least not anything specific - I might just grab…
The Burning House x The Anthropologist
The Burning House teamed up with the theantrhopologist.net to photograph 20 people’s Burning House submissions. The project has an 81 year age range (the youngest being 10 and the oldest being 91) and includes Erika Spring, and Steven Rinella as well as my own photo and list. I’m really pleased with how it turned out. Take a look here.
Such a thrill to see how individuals, lives and generations differ. To see that lives, after being condensed and filtered, all boil down to love.
“When I woke up this morning lying in bed, I was asking myself, ‘What are some of the secrets of success in life?’ I found the answer right there, in my very room. The fan said: Be Cool. The Roof said: Aim High. The window said: See the World. The Clock said: Every minute is precious. The Mirror said: Reflect before you act. The Calender: Be up-to-date. The door said: Push hard for your goals.”
