"There is no life without love, none worth having anyway."



New York. You rent a little apartment in this small little neighborhood. You go grocery shopping on your free time. When you’re not at home painting or drawing sketches for work, you take a walk and sit on a park bench to read your book. You put your book away for a moment and just take in all that’s around you. Some weirdo lady in a bikini tanning, a mom with her little son, she’s pushing him on a swing, a brother and sister running around. And then a beautiful man just walks by. You look up at him in hope to see if you'll catch his eye but he doesn’t, he just walks straight by… You go back to reading your book. A couple of minutes pass by and you see him again, except this time he’s walking straight towards you. Your heart starts beating, the adrenaline rushing, all theses questions running through your mind. Why is he coming here? Do I look alright? He stops and he says, "Sorry if I’m bothering you but I thought you should know that I think there is something incredibly special about you that can’t be put into words. I’m so intrigued.” You’re speechless. You don’t know what to say, but you start blushing and you just smile. You don’t say anything but you introduce yourself. You end up spending the rest of the afternoon just sitting on the same park bench talking and getting to know one another.
