Tag! I’ll Tell You What I Want, What I Really Really Want



Ciao Faran,

Last Wednesday I was having the worst day imaginable, but thankfully I’ve blocked all memories of exactly why it was so horrible. Instead of bitching, I grabbed my Canon and hit the pavement. That’s when I saw the blue doors. Being naturally curious, I peered inside the opening and saw words that I am sure were spray painted there by a Spice Girl. The subtle graffiti wasn’t out there like other street art I’ve seen in New York, but it still made an impression on me beyond the, “Oh look at the graffiti. It’s so pretty.” It motivated me for the next 12 hours. It made me want to listen to “Wannabe.” And it made me smile. And that day, a smile was all I really needed.
