Now that lilacs are in bloom
She has a bowl of lilacs in her room
And twists one in his fingers while she talks.
“Ah, my friend, you do not know, you do not know
What life is, you who hold it in your hands”;
T.S. Eliot
by 19, i had found my look. oversize t-shirts, bike shorts, and wrestling shoes. to prevent the silhouette from being too baggy, i would cinch it at the waist with my fanny pack. i was pretty sure i would wear this look forever. the shirts allowed me to express myself with cool sayings like ‘there’s no crying in baseball’ and ‘universität heidelberg,’ the bike shorts showed off my muscular legs, and the fanny pack held all my trolley tokens. i was nailing it on a daily basis. find something like this for yourself as soon as possible.
