2013 was officially The Year of the Selfie!
This right here is my favorite photo, it encapsulates all things joyful in the day to day. Bright happy eyes, sunlight, a single solitary moment of joy and anticipation.
“Life is a storm, my young friend. You will bask in the sunlight one moment, be shattered on the rocks the next. What makes you a man is what you do when that storm comes. You must look into that storm and shout as you did in Rome. Do your worst, for I will do mine! Then the fates will know you as we know you”
― Alexandre Dumas, The Count of Monte Cristo
