Can I share a photo?

It's nothing spectacular and would not garner many "likes" on Instagram, but to me it's very special.



In this picture I see a school, a "b" that resembles a heart, and colors that remind me of the dust.

1. Though there aren't any people in the photo, when I see the school I see many faces. It's a place where laughs are contagious and you understand how a smile is the same in every language.

2. When I was 16 years old I began a project where anytime I saw a heart-shaped something, I would take a picture. Twelve years and one heart-shaped piece of ham later I still look for these moments. That moment when Love somewhat jumps out at you can be a nice reminder and encouragement.

3. And DUST. Let's just say that I can now fully appreciate the value of noise-hairs. Rainy season had not arrived so at the end of the day there was a thin layer of dust covering your body and clothes. Also, the idea of watering the dirt is not that obscure now. Don't misunderstand me though, the dust didn't bother me but it is something that stands out in my memory.
