A post-Christmas, pre-birthday outing in the Lower East Side with my little brother. I’m especially grateful for his generosity and friendship that have made my New York adventure a reality. This photo personifies a very typical moment for us, really, a general theme in our relationship.

Me wanting HUGS. And him wanting SPACE.
