“All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players: they have their exits and their entrances; and one man in his time plays many parts, his acts being seven ages.”
William Shakespeare
I’ve gone through several major transitions in the last few years. I’ve switched countries, jobs/careers, and gained a husband and daughter along the way. Phew – I guess that’s a lot huh? I was also going through a few struggles at certain points as well. I wanted to redefine and open up new paths for myself. It was difficult being stuck in one place for a while and then trying to convince other people that I could do something. As a result, I felt that I wasn’t able to break through and create a new act for myself.
I thought this famous quote and editorial were very interesting. I was instantly reminded of movie sets when I saw these pictures of Bella Hadid for W Magazine October 2016. The over the top, funky settings bring to mind a Wes Anderson set. Many of the characters in his movies seem to be stuck. But I would like to think that we all go through different stages and paths. It may be difficult for us to reach the right path. However, our path is out there. I may return to a former act. Some day I’ll find a new one again too.
She is simply stunning to me. Such a great editorial that plays off her features well, too.
Gah! What a gorgeous editorial!
