“I used to play in this playground when I was a child. I’ve watched this neighborhood change over the years. We need more affordable housing for lower income people and the elderly. I’m tired of watching my friends have to move out because they can’t afford to stay.”
“Don’t live your life so fenced in, believe in what you feel is real and love all of your seconds. You’re born with good intentions, love’s the best invention. Live all your days with that in mind and don’t make no exceptions.”
“I’ve loved birds ever since I was a child. I have always loved the sound of birds singing in the morning; their songs make me think of freedom.”
Glemon then proceeded to show me several pictures of birds he had on his phone and as he told me about them his face lit up and he couldn’t stop smiling.
