What Thrifting Taught Me about Presence

Thrifting has taught me that some of the most meaningful things are easy to miss when we’re rushing through life. In this video, I’m reflecting on what it feels like to slowly and mindfully interact with secondhand objects—to notice their textures, imperfections, history, and little details—and how this kind of attention has taught me something about presence. There’s something quietly profound about taking the time to really see what’s in front of us, whether that’s an old object with a story or simply the moment we’re living in.
