I wholeheartedly recommend Isabella Stewart Gardner Museum as the ultimate destination for anyone seeking to reignite that nostalgic, naive feeling of being a teenager who first felt inspired by the beauty art. It's a feeling I often hear Dean Kissick describing but for me is almost impossible. You can imagine this wealthy aesthete traveling the world to be known for her taste and one of the worlds biggest art heist (by police officers?)--marked by 13 empty frames still up in the museum.

i’ll never go to the cloisters in nyc again. the isg museum is just a fancy lady's house that lived by herself and invited a bunch of artist friends over all the time. it was also robbed of some Rembrandt's in the 90s and the empty frames are still there to see. now that’s what I call culture, thanks lady!

absolutely gorgeous museum she built to house her personal art collection that has potential to be sooo spooky and romantic on a rainy day. you can see Rembrandt, Michelangelo, Raphael, Botticelli, Manet, Degas, Matisse, and more!! and there was an unsolved heist here in the 90s and they got away from $500 million worth of art. how do ppl do that… kind of kooky…
anyway, go and get burrito from El Pelon or burger from Tasty Burger after!!

This could be one of those rare things that – somehow – reminds you who you are, or who you used to be, those parts you thought were gone. (And trust me, there will be threads. So many threads.) I’ve learned, too, that there are whole stretches of life where you’ve been a stranger to yourself for so long that admitting it feels terrifying, insane even. But without that one thing to confess to, to get honest with – to untangle the mess of ordinary, maddening thoughts – you might never know what’s actually there, buried under the static.

It’s nice to log off TikTok, IG, and Twitter for a few days or a week and use much more low key socials to get a new perspective. I’ve mostly been into Letterbox and Duolingo. PYI also fits this vibe. Sipping some iced green tea on a farm in the Midwest not giving a shit about people’s online today. ❤️🔥
