This post is the result of three friends’ influences. And I call them friends as a blanket term, but they each have a different depth of friendship. Only one of them is my “meaningful” friend. The others like to play, and they’re fun players, so I enjoy them. But the game is difficult for me in a way that I can’t explain and they don’t want to know. The problem is that we play because we don’t know what else to do. They’re afraid. So am I.

My “meaningful” friend sent me this link. It’s about the value of weakness in a friendship, the value of vulnerability and honesty. It’s about trust.

I am only now reviewing the photos I took on the streets of Barcelona in June, mostly of the striking graffiti. This unusual graffiti set appeared on a tiny street in the Gothic Quarter outside of my friend’s apartment. The last of this particular series will appear tomorrow.
