Stranger

Today I am going to tell the story of a stranger. You may assume that this man is your average hiker dad who stretches in the middle of the path, and while you may be right, there is a lot more to this man than you might assume. This man is the descendent of THE, …

Aging

The photo on the left shows aging through nature. On one side of the plant, it is flourishing with beautiful cherry blossoms, whereas the right is bare, without any blossoms. It shows that the branch on the right is past its prime, possibly even dead, not producing the beautiful blossoms like the one on the …

I am facing towards the hills in the background because looking at and being in nature makes me happy. The shirt I am wearing says “Caamp” which is one of my favorite bands. Lastly, the position I …
