Description

We dream of cities
Where paths meet and align
And whispered hopes are allowed to shine

We dream of cities
Where we can finally entwine

I've always had a thing for maps, especially those of cities. As a kid, I used to trace the streets and the building outlines with my fingers, making imaginary paths for imaginary travelers and concocting stories of imaginary inhabitants of the all-too-real buildings and it fascinated me so much because of the endless possibilities it provided me. As we grow up, however, more and more we get the feeling that our possibilities are always shrinking, always disappearing by the day, swallowed up by the selfsame streets and buildings of the city around us.

But maybe that doesn't have to be the case. Even as we are now, we can still find new paths and new possibilities that we can explore. It will be hard, and it will take much, but maybe we can just start with a dream.
