TASTE

Taste is your badge in this noisy world.
It quietly announces itself. it doesn't beg for validation. it simply reflects its self in the things you do.
I believe taste reflects your self-respect. There is a line between what excites you and what you could tolerate. The music you often return to. the clothes you reach foe without thinking. The films that live in your mind days later. Your perspective of the world. Taste is your comfort, your curiosity, your joy, your rebellion and your discernment.
When you have taste, you don't just wander to anything or anyone that grabs your attention. You feel, you aling yourself with what feels right.
In a world optimized for speed, algorithms, and lowest commondenominator thinking, cultivating taste is an act of resistance. It’s choosing depth over noise. Quality over excess. Meaning over trends.
it's not about impressing others. its about honoring yourself.
"For me, music and life are all about style"
-Miles Davis
