I just don’t understand why there have to be so many bright ass lights everywhere just blinding everyone?

Or why headlights need to be so intense.

I feel like I can’t see anything at night bc of too many lights that are painful to the eyes.

It’s just unnecessary.

It’s the little things in NYC that make all the difference.

A stranger lending their phone charger for the train ride home.

A young girl sitting on the ground conversing w a homeless man and his dog.

A simple smile.

Helping a lost tourist.

I cry so much now that I’m a mom.

Things that are sad. Things that are inspiring. Things that are hopeful. Things that are beautiful.

All worthy of tears.
