Love <3

I found this graffiti on a tree located outside of the Union next to the pedway. Since it it found on a tree, I do find this to be a form of art. It is not defacing public property, it is just engraved into the trunk of the tree.

I really do not mind when I see things such as this graffiti. I think it is a simple reminder to everyone who passes it to find something in your day to love. Be passionate about something in your life. Whether this is someone or something, it will give you something to smile about. I would not however, say that this type of graffiti is very creative. It does not take much thought to carve your name into something. In conclusion one could guess that I do not mind this graffiti. I think it is cute in some sort of way.

Once upon a time….
A boy and a girl were taking a stroll around campus. The weather was beautiful and the tone of the campus was buzzing. People were playing volleyball and laying around in hammocks. The boy stops and kisses the girl; he tells her that one day he wants to marry her. She smiles and tells him how she can’t wait. She tells the boy how she wants to remember this exact moment. She grabs her keys and starts to carve her and the boys name in the tree. She wraps the names with a heart to symbolize the moment. She looks at him and says “Now we will always remember.”



p.s. sorry it is tilted, for some reason it won't flip right side up.
