distressed knitwear<\/em>, I share a few reminders and thoughts to consider, when it comes to unexpected distressed.<\/p>\n![\"150\"](\"https:\/\/www.thejoshuagray.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2016\/12\/150.jpg\")
<\/p>\n
While shooting this style concept, I recall discussing the unconventionality of knitwear distressed with holes, rips, and tears. Recently popularized by a few of Kanye\u2019s Yeezy SZNs, there\u2019s something deeper than the vain ambitions of staying on top of this trend.<\/p>\n
Who would of thought knitwear would be a plausible or passable texture to distress (besides one who must succumb to homelessness)? Socially, who would think that not every smile we see reflects a smile on the inside of every person who affixes one to his or her face?<\/p>\n

<\/p>\n
Similar to the recent, urban popularity of distressed knitwear, unexpected distress in the lives of those who seem unfit to experience distress may be more common than we realize. I know many times, my smile reflected what I wanted my life to be and not what it actually was. Therefore, be open to opening your happiness for someone else<\/em>, consider these various ways to share the light you may have with those distressed, when they don\u2019t even seem fit for stress:<\/p>\n\n- Pray<\/strong> for someone, even if they seem as if they don\u2019t need it.<\/li>\n
- Smile<\/strong> at someone, you honestly don\u2019t know what they\u2019re dealing with!<\/li>\n
- Continue fostering<\/strong> relationships with the ones who love you, before you develop an unwarranted love for the ones who only like you!<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
