Boy Meets Girl

I saw this picture of Summer & Seth kissing and couldn’t get over it. Their body language was lovely and I especially loved their feet. I wasn’t really sure what to do with the background and then Boy Meets Girl’s “Waiting for a Star to Fall” came on the radio. And well, the lyrics fit [...]

Look at my Life

I had seen an old man sitting alone in the park earlier that week. I couldn’t help wondering what he was thinking about as he sat there in a trance feeding the birds. Did he miss his wife? His children? Was he regretting his mistakes or reliving his glory days? I’m not sure what was [...]
