For Stefano Castro’s photographic subject, self care takes the form of a stiff drink and a fresh cut. Taken during the pandemic in a makeshift backyard barber shop, the photograph frames maintenance as ritual, a pause that marks transition, whether stepping into something new, closing a long chapter, or clocking another year with polished intention. Send this to the person who knows a sharp edge and a steady hand can feel like divine intervention when it’s time to move forward.

From the people who send them
The handwriting doesn't look printed. My mom asked if I'd written it myself. I said yes.
— Blake, LA
Arrived in four days. I'd braced for longer.
— Ian, Chicago
Sent it to a friend I hadn't seen since college. He sent me a photo of it on his side table a week later.
— Dave, Philly
My wife sent it to me on a random Tuesday. No occasion. That was the point.
— Eddie, Tampa
Kept it on my shelf next to my books. Doesn't look out of place. That's the highest compliment I can give a card.
Chelsey, New York
My little brother graduated in May. I live across the country. This was the closest I could get to being there.
— Jared, Chicago
Put one in every welcome bag for a networking event I hosted. Got emails afterward asking how I'd handwritten them all. I told them my secret.
- Carly, Ft. Lauderdale
