Always in Chicago...





Chicago is my therapeutic escape from the world...

It seems that everytime I go there, I always seem so up and hopeful when I return.

Whether hanging out with friends, or waking up to the sounds of the city after a night out with kickass company in an awesome apartment...


I simply love the town that makes me feel so ALIVE.

Walking in the city, drinking, sitting at a coffee shop, writing, spending time just eating, People watching, drinking, thinking, and then meeting up with a good friend for dinner on Saturday and chatting 'till the endless hour, only to run back to the train station to continue our chat..



I am thankful for all that.

I have always been of the mindset that if you make time for life...it will always reward you with the reason why life is worth living.

You walk around and the oddest things happen



...they're unexpected...

but when they happen, you laugh because you know that those moments, your moments, were just that...

yours.

* The lady playing a good tune in the subway
* The pigeons I chased around the street
* The eyes I followed, and those that followed back

* The "L"
* The man who lost his wallet...he asked me to buy him Wendy's...and I did
* The husband embarrasing his wife
* "Warriors" who came out to play
* Eating an ice cream cone (strawberry) and drinking a cafe mocha at the same time


Every moment one takes in is like the first breath one takes in the morning,

Every memory the exhaling sigh of joy.

We all must exhale.

We all must remember


...Life...:
