Really, truly find the strongest, happiest friendship in the person you fall in love with. Someone who speaks highly of you. Someone you can laugh with. The kind of laughs that make your belly ache, and your nose snort. The embarrassing, earnest, healing kind of laughs. Wit is important. Life is too short not to love someone who lets you be a fool with them. Make sure they are somebody who lets you cry, too. Despair will come. Find someone that you want to be there with you through those times. Most importantly, marry the one that makes passion, love, and madness combine and course through you. A love that will never dilute - even when the waters get deep, and dark.”&lt;br/&gt;&lt;br/&gt; - &lt;em&gt;Unknown (via &lt;a class="tumblr_blog" href="http://perfect.tumblr.com/"&gt;perfect&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;/em&gt;</description><link>http://rockyavenue.tumblr.com/post/51790439208</link><guid>http://rockyavenue.tumblr.com/post/51790439208</guid><pubDate>Fri, 31 May 2013 03:44:04 -0400</pubDate></item><item><title>"You just do it.

&lt;p&gt;“Hey man, take my picture!”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I can’t do it. It’s too dark.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Yeah, we need some light. Let’s go over there.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Are you homeless?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Yes, I am.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“How long have you been homeless?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“15 years. I’ve been in Boston 8 months. Before that I was in Washington, Virginia, New York, Philadelphia, Louisiana, Florida…”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Why didn’t you stay in Florida? It’s so much warmer.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I wanted to see my family. But they don’t want to see me. They don’t understand depression. They treat me like dirt. Homeless people treat me better than my family.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“And what happened 15 years ago? How did you end up on the streets?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I tried to burn myself twice. I had 30 surgeries. I was dead two times, but God brought me back. I don’t know why.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“And why did you do it?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I was depressed. Why you crying?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Because you are a beautiful person, and my family is really messed up, and I’ve been very depressed. I think I can understand you.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Yes, I am a good person. And when you take people’s pictures, don’t disrespect them.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“No, man, I won’t. I like people. That’s why I take their pictures.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“And when you make your portfolio, don’t denigrate people. Let the pictures speak for themselves.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“I will. Are you safe on the streets?”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“Yes, I am…And now I have $8 to buy me some food.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“That’s all I have. Next time I see you, I will give you more.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;“No, man. It ain’t all about money. Give me a hug. And next time you see me, give me a hug again. And thanks for taking my picture.”&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;/blockquote&gt;
&lt;p&gt;My heart……&lt;/p&gt;
