Lenses #6

Lenses #5

There's something very calming about L, and it's not just his voice. He's got this humility about him that I admire, that says he's never above learning from anything or anyone.

Lenses #4

J. He's brilliant, very measured, very no-nonsense, and I wouldn't want to cross him. He's also very fair, very empathetic and knows exactly how to reach out.

Lenses #1

Lenses is a small series of posts. Very short descriptions of how I see people. It was originally titled 'People (in one dimension. two, if you're lucky)', and that is how it is.

No I can't, but I do not hope anymore.


The sun's in the sky, it makes for happy endings
You can't deny you want a happy ending.*

Nopes, darling, I don't

And if you wanted a love to last forever
Darling I would send my love your way
