It was one of those March days when the sun shines hot and the wind blows cold: when it is summer in the light, and winter in the shade. -Great Expectations, Charles Dickens

Twenty-three
Birthday's are a strange thing. On one hand, I feel excited because I get to eat cake and blow out candles and open a few presents and hang out with loved ones and celebrate. On the other hand, I'm realizing I'm another year older, and I don't feel any older or look older but here I am, one whole year older than my age yesterday. Then I start thinking, am I where I imagined I would be at 23 when I was younger and thought about being in my early 20's? The truth is, when I was little (like middle school and younger) I always thought anyone who was past 21 was old old old, and that my life would be over by 23 because I'd be no longer a kid and I'd probably be boring and working full time and maybe even married. Haha! Well, I am doing all those things and I am happy to say that I am not only where I thought I would be at 23, but I feel like I have fully followed and pursued my dreams and have been blessed with far more than I imagined. So, while birthdays can feel a bit strange to me sometimes, there is no doubt that all I felt yesterday was overwhelmingly blessed. :)
Hope everyone had a fun St. Patrick's day! I know I did! <3
Midtown East in Black and White
Hello, hope everyone is having a wonderful Friday! These are a few photos I took around where I work awhile back. I think I really prefer seeing the city in black and white instead of color. It looks so much cleaner and structured and modern. My opinion would probably vary depending on the season, as these were taken during winter and there is so much more color in spring and fall! What do you think? Do you prefer city shots to be in black and white, or in color?
