The desire to go viral is slowly effecting restaurants, bakeries, cafés, shops, everything…all around the world.

Social media really has a powerful grip, & it seems the only way to combat it is to have the courage to be curious—dare to travel to the unknown places, dare to risk experiencing a “dud” to support local.

Are we now creating for the Instagram algorithm rather than for a nuanced, diverse crowd of discerning humans? Beauty used to be regional, accidental, rooted in what was already there, in the eccentricities of the creator. Now there's nothing strikingly different, nothing to pause at or remember, nothing worth telling someone else about
