LA Photo Diary with Arielle Estoria | GLDN

Written by GLDN Team — October 25, 2024

On a warm, glowy night in mid-September, we threw a party in LA to celebrate the launch of our Cosmic Collection with poet, author, actor and collection co-designer, Arielle Estoria. It was a cozy, intimate, inspiring gathering with the GLDN community—poems were read, tears were shed—and we wished you all could have been there!

Here were some of our favorite moments (as seen through the eyes of our team!) plus an excerpt from Arielle’s reading:

“I still believe in magic; hope that it’s tucked in the wings of a butterfly or maybe in the dimples of a really chunky baby or the colors of a sunset or the way that he looks at me, and they may call me something like ‘foolish.’ Thirty-two years old and still believing in magic, but what if the thing we are most afraid of is not that it doesn’t exist, but that it’s lived inside of us all this time and we called it foolish. Okay, well, then call me foolish. Because I can see it swimming in my veins and every time I take a breath—magic tucked into my very existence—so much so that these words are sometimes the most necessary healing I’ve come to know. So, call us foolish. Because I can see it swimming in your veins. And every time you take a breath, magic tucked into your very existence, so much so that your breath is a miracle. And you are a miracle.” ✨
