There are people in every corner of the world.
From snow-capped mountains
To palm covered beaches
And bustling city streets.


They are all different-
The old man down the block
The girl crying on a broken park bench
The woman who works at the mall.

But they all share one thing.
No matter where they are from,
And no matter who they are,
They all yearn to find someone like themselves.
Someone to laugh with,
Someone to share memories with,
Someone to call a friend.

Living in NYC, I have come across so many different people that it's hard not to be inspired.
