I’m super excited about the current issue of Kinfolk and look forward to picking one up as soon as I can! The whole issue is dedicated to allowing things to be imperfect in our lives…
| For our autumn edition of Kinfolk, we’d like to celebrate the holes in our socks, our scorched attempts at marmalade making and all the crappy haircuts we’ve had over the years. We’re all guilty of occasionally attempting to make our lives seem a little cleaner or a bit more organized, but the reality is often quite different. There’s nothing wrong with daydreaming of an idyllic life, but what if we dropped the facade for a moment and celebrated our shortcomings? These flawed details are the beautifully blemished collateral of a life lived to the fullest. So make mistakes. Make a mess. Be imperfect. |
I greatly appreciate the idea of dedicating a whole issue to the idea that we all are not perfect and there is power in owning and accepting that. In this day in age we have a tendency to try to script our lives out on social media with only the beautiful moments that are cropped and positioned to show only the best angles of our lives. The reality, though, is that it is the imperfections that make us unique and who we are. What if we showed each other those imperfections instead of airbrushing them out of our life? A big thank you to Kinfolk for giving us a glimpse.
