Aesthete: n. a combination of the athlete and aesthetician. one who lives as art,for art.

I am not Oscar Wilde, art's first aesthete, nor do I believe in the notion of 'art for art's sake', as aesthetes commonly do.


"society is often dismissive of people who are concerned with appearances, but those lacking in an appreciation of beauty are missing out on the point of being alive in the first place. It's important to appreciate life's ornamentation instead of just obsessing over its drudgeries."
-Lesley M.M. Blume

Old Chum - Untitled (2010)

She lived in the tree across from me.  They hated each other so much, our dads had a competition to build the best looking tree house the fastest.  In the end of the construction, our dads built houses that looked exactly the same, probably how the two of us became so similar.   And even though she and I would stay up all night talking, we were always separated by gap up top and the fence down below.
