I was reading in Interview Magazine this morning, Lana talking about when she realized she was “living her own life instead of watching other people live theirs.”

And it really struck me, because even though I live in New York, I really do have a tendancey to hide out in my little fairy cave & avoid experiences — even though they are quite literally at my doorstep (living in Soho for 4 years, now East Village, etc. etc.)

Some of this is valid, my dancer friend says, “the muse has to protect herself, that’s why the most beautiful flowers in nature are the most poisonous.”

Lately, I have been really proud of myself. I’ve been out there contending & showing my face & spending time with my friends. Fashion week and events and parties. I think having friends you really, really love & are excited to see helps. You guys know who you are.

Thank you for pulling this little cancer out of her not-so metaphorical shell.
