I love my town. It\u2019s home. But I\u2019ve never once photographed it. Not even with an iPhone. Why? There\u2019s nothing interesting here! I don\u2019t see any interesting buildings or streets or people. No monuments, no beautiful flower shops, no pretty fountains, no Paris, and no New York. Sometimes I even catch myself saying I need to go back to New York for some more photos. Then I realized that, in a way, I am just doing what everyone is doing; telling the same story as everyone else. I\u2019ve been looking for other cities in my town, when my town has its own unique story to tell. And by doing this, I\u2019ve been missing out on the beautiful story that resides\u00a0here. It\u2019s no shock that my favorite city is Paris, living in Paris was life changing: the culture, the people, and the adventures, what\u2019s not to love? But I had to accept that, at the moment, my story is here, and it will be a shame to miss out on it while I\u2019m here just because I\u2019m waiting for some place more magical. The same applies to every aspect of our lives, everything that happens to you is essential for your growth: you either embrace it or overcome it, but you don\u2019t ignore it because it\u2019s a part of your story and one day this story will inspire someone else.<\/p>\n
