Clothes = joy. Joy = urgent. Get dressed and live.

My head is swimming with disparate thoughts, so stay with me as I try and pull them all together.

I know there’s something I very much need to say.

I believe clothes* can cause** joy.

*(I started thinking about this with the words “fashion” and “style” — but those are loaded and subject to interpretation. What I mean is clothes.)

**(no not “create,” which is soft, but “cause,” which is science and law and REAL)

I believe clothes can cause joy.

And I believe that for many reasons. One reason being this: I refuse to stop believing it. So I believe it because of sheer will. Because I have to.

To believe that clothes can cause joy is to have hope. Daily.

And to have hope is to LIVE. No, to fucking LIVE. And this is something I deeply want to do.
