Three of my favorite people are graduating from college and embarking on their respective life journeys in the coming weeks.
I first called them strangers when we met a year and a half ago in Long Island City, Queens. I then called them roommates over the following months, and by the time we parted ways for my graduation last May, I called them lifelong friends. Now it’s their turn to see where life takes them, and as someone who’s been at this “real world” thing for a year now, I couldn’t resist sending some words to carry with them along the way.
I used a beautifully aged children’s book (I love the way yellowed pages look) and acrylics to make these notes.
