I had someone ask me why I never post pictures of the actual festival and I said, 'I leave my camera at home because reality shouldn’t be viewed through a lens.'”

Interesting ideas on 'essentials':

 

"People are so desperate to find ways to hack Tinder, but the secret to success isn't just listing ‘Serial' as an interest or posing with a more attractive friend in the hope people might think you're the hot one.
