Go Out. Do More of Life. – Nerst on finding beauty where others might not look

“If I could go back to myself in my 20s, I would tell her that this is her life. Take care of yourself. Don’t take too much time to be sad. Love comes and goes, but you can always heal and love again. Go out, do more of life, and use every second trying to make yourself happy.” At 31, Bangkok-based creator, entrepreneur, and NVYNasty founder Nerst has learned a thing or two about beauty, self-love, and finding happiness on your own terms. In our conversation, we spoke about fashion, travel, social media, and the evolving relationship we have with ourselves in a world that constantly encourages comparison.

“Growth Comes From Stepping Into The Unknown” — A Moment With Bella

Some people move through life without ever realizing how deeply their actions and words can affect others. That thought stayed with me after reading our interview with model Bella Monroe. “The people we love, the memories we create, and the way we make others feel are what truly stay with us,” she told us. And honestly, I think that is a beautiful way to look at life. Taking a moment to reflect on how our behavior impacts the people around us feels increasingly rare these days.

The Art of a ‘Plan B’

Superficially and inherently to imperfect human nature, we like to see the concept of ‘plan B’ as that ‘hidden Ace down our sleeve’, that has been there since the game started to secure an ultimate win. And then when it comes to reality, we get a cold splash of realism in the face, when we see life not going as initially planned, but also struggling to come up and use the ‘plan B’. Why? What if that’s because we forget that ‘plan B’ is not another tool or trick that is always available to apply, but what if it’s a realisation of a potential failure and accepting it? Accepting that nothing can be perfect and that most things cannot play out by the script we predicted for them in our head.

On Friendship, Photography and Feeling Present Again

Sometimes the most beautiful evenings begin without expectation. Just two friends wandering through East London with a camera, soft April light and the desire to feel present again. In this visual diary, Evie steps in front of the lens of photographer Adrienne Hicks, capturing the kind of fleeting magic that only appears when nobody is trying too hard.

When Strangers Start to Meet — Sound of Fractures on Alone Together

Connection used to happen almost accidentally – through shared spaces, routines, small overlaps in everyday life. And in a way, those opportunities are still there. We pass people every day, exist side by side, move through the same places – yet rarely cross that invisible line into actual connection. Instead, much of what we experience becomes something to frame, to share, to turn into attention. The beautiful, the uncomfortable, the in-between – everything slowly shifts into something curated. And attention, more often than not, becomes its own kind of currency.

The Moment Anyway – A Conversation with Kelly

Today, our attention turns to Kelly — to the responsibility of “deciding who you become when crisis no longer gives direction.” After a cancer diagnosis came treatment, and then the unfamiliar after: the moment when the medical structure falls away, and you’re returned to life without instructions. Nothing comes back the same. As she puts it, “Survival didn’t feel like a finish line. It felt like renegotiation.”

Learning to Notice

It’s strange how small things can make a day feel different. I’ve been thinking about how closely our happiness is tied to believing in the kindness of others — much more than we tend to assume. You lose your wallet, and somehow it finds its way back to you. Returned by a stranger. Someone you never expected to care. And the happiness that follows makes you glow. It surprises you, simply because you didn’t expect it. There are studies that try to explain this, to measure it, to prove it.

The Illusion of Freedom

The concept of freedom has been a significant cultural agenda over time. In books and movies, revolutions and wars, relationships and social institutions — humans are drawn to striving and fighting for freedom. But what is freedom? Isn’t it something given to most modern men by design? Various dictionaries define freedom as ‘the power or right to act, speak, or think as one wants’; ‘the power of self-determination attributed to the will; the quality of being independent of fate or necessity’; ‘the state of being unrestricted and able to move easily’; ‘the state of not being subject to or affected by (something undesirable)’, etc.

One Step at a Time

“I am becoming an embodied woman. One who can, or at least tries to, carry it all. But the journey is not linear. It never is.” Soft and intimate, Julia Sara Noëlle  invites us into her world through tender self-portraits taken in the Italian mountains — images that carry the same sense of story and quiet vulnerability as her words.

Wo überall auf immer trifft

Natürlich kann man nicht einfach erzählen, wie eine Reise war und erwarten, dass jemand was damit anfangen kann, wenn er nicht schon selbst da gewesen ist oder die Sehnsucht spürt und an einer Hotelbar mit einem Barmann in Genua oder Nizza darüber geredet hat. Es gibt auf Reisen immer gute Geschichten und lustige, die die Leute mögen und sie wollen diese Geschichten auch hören.
