Create

I hope you explore.

I hope you meet new people and make new memories and expand your visual vocabulary.

I hope you give your heart away to someone.

I wish you heart break so that you can see how much you feel and I wish you serenity when you realize how much you can heal. 

I hope you talk to elders and play with kids because you are the bridge connecting the past with the future and I hope you never undermine that role. 

I hope you smile at people on the sidewalk and wave at people while they are running. I hope you tip people who serve you and offer alms at church. I hope you work hard and pay your way and understand the value of the dollar. 

I hope you are influenced by those around you but not changed. May the stories you hear and the experiences you encounter leave a color on your skin. And through this process, the mundanity and the highlights, remember your life, your story, your saga are art. 

The beauty is not in the final product, but in the creation. Create.
