Pain throws you heart to the ground
Love turns the whole thing around
No, it won't all go the way, it should
But I know the heart of life is good.
John Mayer - The Heart of Life
I don’t drink coffee but I like sitting in every now and then to enjoy the simplicity atmosphere with a cup of drink, with a book, with my laptop and music on even though I was alone sometimes.
I wish it could stay that way forever.

Week 5/52: “Simplicity” is the theme this week. It is not often that you see a hummingbird sitting still. They are usually flapping their wings 12-80 times a second. I saw simplicity in this moment. The sun was shining bright so I went for more of a silhouette feel.
