can you paint me a memory? it doesnt have to be perfect. it need not be one i can remember, but one after years of a fulfilling life. a memory where happiness and love are the backdrop. there is no room for lies or regrets. can you paint him with his arms around me and children all grown up? a reoccuring theme of laughter and consistency with my best friend.

an education yeilding individual thought. a life helping others and whole lot of making differences. a townhouse in the city. a gallery of creativity.

i want a memory i can be proud of. something that would make me smile over and over again, like a long-time friend.

i want you to paint me a memory because it is so much easier to look back then to look forward.
