it's funny how people can capture you.
the lines around their eyes when they smile can invite you towards them,
or the fleeting look they give when they think no one's watching.
i'm interested in people's confidence, but also their nongregariousness.
the giving, the receiving, ebb and flow that makes sense but so little sense.
promise and brokenness, blame and responsibility.
strong regard interests me; inform me of the weather, or why that tea reminds you of that person, and why that makes you close your eyes and wonder.
I want to challenge myself and others to paint a picture without asking for others opinion. To treat yourself to a movie, buy yourself popcorn, and enjoy it. To walk down the street and try and remember who you were before the door shut behind you. And to GET LOST. In friends, in the scenery, in your favorite book. DO SOMETHING to help remind yourself who you are, because god knows you're the only one who can do it. And you can. You can.
