Affection, Law, Curiosity

Sunday morning feels invigorating. Upon waking, a trip to the beach beckons. A great advantage of Sundays is the free parking meters. A prime parking spot usually awaits, especially for those arriving before 7 a.m. Following a cup of coffee and some journaling, a walk along the pier ensues.

What immediately grabs attention is the graffiti. Messages like "We love you Hunter" adorn various parts of the pier overlooking the ocean. Overlooking the law-breaking aspect for a moment and allowing curiosity to take over, one can't help but wonder: Who is this Hunter, and what did he do to merit such a public display of affection? Shifting focus to the people in your own life—consider who might deserve some affection from you this week. Just ensure it's within the bounds of legality.
