Readjust, Move On

I know it’s a sign of a slightly fragile mental state when I start believing that redesigning a website or reshuffling social media accounts will have actual consequences for my mood, my immediate future, the people close to me. As if moving things around in a digital space could fix what’s going on in the analog one.

But then I see someone else doing the same thing—someone whose work I respect, whose particular way of seeing things I’ve tracked for years—and suddenly the impulse feels less like instability and more like a reasonable response to being alive. Kai Müller, who ran the photo and style blog StyleSpion for years, has returned to writing under his own name. Photographer, artist, traveler, blogger. The readjustment suits him. Some people disappear from the internet and you barely notice. Others leave a specific gap, and you feel it when they come back.
