gentle reminder you can rise up from everything. you can recreate yourself. nothing is permanent. you are not stuck. you have choices. you can think new thoughts. you can learn something new. you can create new habits. all that matters is that you decide today and never look back.

repeat after me: people in the past were not stupid. people in the past were not dirty. people in the past were people like you. you are not inherently better than our ancestors simply for being born in the modern age.

Veiled heads of the Roman emperors of the Julio-Claudian dynasty. So-called capite velato (usually fold of the toga draped over the top of the head) was a show of piety during religious sacrifice, and in art it underlines the individual's role as a priest, in the case of the emperors that of the pontifex maximus.

During the Republic, the office of the pontifex maximus, Rome's highest priest, was elective. Augustus became pontifex maximus in 12 BC and from then on the position was automatically assumed by each successive emperor upon their ascension.
