Shalom Harlow Instagram – 🖤🖤AGOLDE🖤🖤 Often people don’t see my heart. They feel it, but they confuse the attraction and complicate it with a projection of desire They’ll say, “oh your eyes are so pretty” Meaning, “I’m responding to an aesthetic pleasure that your symmetry and angles present for me” But what they really mean, even when they don’t know it themselves is “Your eyes are beautiful because there’s a radiance there. There’s a quality of purity and power that comes from knowing your own capacity for both outrage and tender abiding” This clarity of knowing comes from continually pointing that accusing, outwardly extending finger and pivoting it back towards oneself But what if one does that to a fault? What if our rotational access was set in a faulty factory setting by those who benefited in their own outward blame How do I learn where you end and I begin when a sense of center was never cultivated I was pruned to shape around your cold and determined will. I was shackled to your scarce expressions of love Oh father, it has finally begun, I am learning to bend towards my own sun @agolde 📸 @guineverevanseenus Styling @alexisasquith Makeup @kuma1206 Hair @hairjordon @julianniznik @imgmodels
