Honest Gasp

(Lauren, 2014, Wellington, New Zealand)

What do you love I asked her?

I love unmade beds. 

I love when people are drunk and crying and cannot be anything but honest in that moment. 

I love the look in peoples eyes when they realize that they're in love. 

I love the way people look when they first wake up, disorientated, innocent and confused about their surroundings. 

I love the gasp people take when their favorite song starts to play.

I love when people close their eyes and drift to somewhere in the clouds. 

I fall in love with people and their honest moments all the time. 

I fall in love with their breakdowns and their smeared makeup and their daydreams.

Honesty is just too beautiful to ever put into words.
