The Appreciation of Life

You know what i just thought about.... How much this quarter has actually changed me. I notice things now, i actually pay attention to details when I'm driving or walking to class or working. Its really weird to see things that you have missed for so long, i feel like my eyes have been opened. For example I went to Downtown Seattle last night for my friends birthday. As we were leaving the first bar i looked across the street and saw some of the most interesting graffiti i have ever seen in person. The thing is, when i was standing there looking at it, i realized that if i hadn't done this presentation and research on graffiti and listened to the lectures about it, i would never have noticed it or appreciated it. How much of a waste would that be, to miss something so beautiful in the middle of a city covered in advertisements. It reminds me the the saying "A diamond in the rough". The picture below is the picture I took on my phone of the graffiti i was talking about. I hope you all can appreciate it as much as i did!
