As an young adult i always enjoyed strolling around in the park, often meeting with my school friends on the weekends and grabbing a snack from the nearby french cafe while reading my favorite book laying aimlessly on that not so comfortable park bench and gentle breeze used to brush my face making a mess of my salt and pepper hair.
