Reading Juxtapoz‘ new May 12th edition magazine, I encountered a quote written in yellow and white on a light brown block, it read:
“YOU DON’T NEED ANYTHING, YOU DON’T NEED TO BUY ANYTHING OR OWN ANYTHING BECAUSE REALLY, YOU CAN’T TAKE IT WITH YOU.”
Encountering this quote by JR during his interview with Kristin Farr from Juxtapoz, it triggered a memory:
It was summer, 2008, I was young and just realizing that parentheses around your bank account balance meant you were in the negative. Being the independent type, it was an embarrassing tragedy; I was $40 dollars in debt and I hadn’t started my new job yet. It became apparent that I would, begrudgingly, have to ask my father for money and use my rolled quarters to pay for gas.
