About
In an increasingly fast-paced world filled with constant changes and short-lived connections, we all hope to capture a few perfect moments. Perhaps freeze fleeting memories. Maybe rekindle forgotten emotions.
Based in New York City.
After a while...
After a while you learn
the subtle difference between
holding a hand and chaining a soul
and you learn that love doesn't mean leaning
and company doesn't always mean security.
And you begin to learn that kisses aren't
contracts and presents aren't promises and
you begin to accept your defeats with your
head up and your eyes ahead with the grace
of a woman, not the grief of a child
and you learn to build all your roads on today
because tomorrow's ground
is too uncertain for plans and futures
have a way of falling down in mid-flight.
After a while you learn
that even sunshine burns if you get too much
so you plant your own garden and decorate
your own soul instead of waiting for
someone to bring you flowers.
And you learn that you really can endure
you really are strong you really do have worth
and you learn and you learn
with every goodbye, you learn...
