Snapshots of the Ordinaries

Itulah bedanya dunia seni dengan dunia politik. Dunia seni itu, yang tua selalu memberi kesempatan yang muda untuk tampil. Beda thok dengan dunia yang di sono itu? Yang muda juga dikader, diberi kesempatan. Untuk menjadi bemper korupsi.

I” is a capital and “you” is lower case.

The Book Thief by Markus Zusack. Best book I have ever read.
A picture of you when you were young. A picture of you with your family. A picture of you on your birthday. A picture of in one of your favorite outfits. A picture of you making a goofy face at the camera.A picture you edited to make yourself more attractive.A picture of someone you couldn’t live without.A picture of you truly being yourself.A picture of a time in your life that’s over, and you couldn’t be more thankful that it is.A picture of the least age-appropriate object you own.A picture you had no idea was being taken.A picture of someone you consider to be your twin.A picture of one of the best times of your life.A picture of your room.A picture of you and a group of friends.A picture of you and your crush.A picture of you and someone famous.A picture of you at your school.A picture of you at the beach.A picture of you at a party.A picture of you with food.A picture of you with sunglasses.A picture of your favorite book. A picture of something you’ve made yourself. A picture of something you’re proud of. A picture of something you cherish most. A picture of you in a silly hat.

“Thou art the grave where buried love doth live,

Hung with the trophies of my lovers gone,

Who all their parts of me to thee did give;

That due of many now is thine alone.” (William Shakespeare - Sonnet 31)
