There’s something intensely unhealthy going on when parents discourage age-appropriate independence. A 13 year old should probably be allowed to go see a film with their friends most of the time. A 16 year old should probably be allowed to drive/ride a bus/bike to a friend’s house most of the time. An 18 year old should probably be allowed to travel overnight with their friends most of the time. A 20+ year old should be allowed to come and go as they please, with some common-sense “Let’s talk this ‘move to Finland’ plan of your over before you follow through on it” exceptions.

Parents should want their children to enjoy going out and doing things on their own and with their friends. They should be delighted that their child wants to have a life of their own. A rich, fulfilling life outside the home and distinct from parents and family is important, and parents should want their child to have that.

Don’t look away. Look straight at everything. Look it all in the eye, good and bad.

Sea-Inspired Jewelry Made From Translucent Fabric By Japanese Artist

You could be forgiven for thinking that the things in these pictures are a species of sea creature, or perhaps a type of organism found on another planet entirely. But despite their otherworldly appearance, they are in fact items of delicate jewelry created by Japanese artist Mariko Kusumoto.

Based in Massachusetts, Kusumoto makes her ethereal wearables by heating translucent fabric until it holds the shape she wants. The fundamental simplicity of the process creates a stunning contrast with her often intricate designs in order to produce a beautiful paradox that is both majestic and captivating. (Source)
