you’re a young bodega owner and your open sign flickers against the window, shining into the dark street. you look over and see your little cousin asleep at his station and smile to yourself. life isn’t so bad here.
you’re sixteen and all you care about is caring for your friends and family, having fun and helping people. oh yeah, and making sure your uptight older cousin doesn’t ruin your life (but you love him anyway).
you’re young and daring. a faint migraine crawls into the back of your brain as a subtle reminder of the night before. but, it’s all made okay as you melt into the gaze the bodega guy next door you totally do not have a crush on.
you’re a college student and you’re visiting the place you grew up in for the summer. you see the people you’ve known all your life and think, coming home gets less nerve-wracking and more relieving every year.
you’re a young man with lots of dreams and goals, and you know one day you’re going to fulfill those dreams and goals one step at a time. for now, though, you think you’ll stick to your young love and your job, and one day, you’ll make it.
you’re a graffiti artist from manhattan. there are only two things you like; painting and having fun. fortunately, you get to do both of those things on a daily basis. some may call you a vandal, you’d call yourself a famous artist in the making.
you’re a salon owner in the bronx. life is good, you think, just as an old friend walks through the doors. you get up to greet them, and smile inside at how content everything really is.
you’re a bubbly young woman with an urge to treat everyone how they should be treated. and give good haircuts. everyone deserves a nice haircut.
