1. It's a bunch of people (mostly women) sharing their collective wisdom on everything from how to remove stains to decorating palaces.
2. I can organize *almost* everything that I want to remember or categorize that I find on the web. (Woe to the page that gives you the message, "Sorry, we couldn't find any pinnable images or videos on this page.")
3. Everything is beautiful.
The quantity and quality of beauty is compressed into an endless stream of exquisitely boxed media.
I was scrolling through someone else's board today, admiring their collection of images, it occurred to me that that's exactly what I want to do. I want to create and curate beautiful things. Like words. Like films.
A friend of mine once told me he's always searching for the perfect soccer game. For him, I think that equates to scoring (yes) and winning (yes) but it's also something more. I think it's a connection to the rest of the players, a synchronicity of passing the ball, an almost spiritual fulfillment found on the turf.
At least, that's how I interpreted what he meant.
And fortunately, there's always Pinterest for inspiration!
