a funny thing happened-

-when you idots spray-painted our neighborhood. the reaction that you were after just didn't happen.

no one got fired up.
no one tried to get you back.
no one went out looking for you.

instead

everyone pitched in to clean up.
we met people we had never seen before.
our little community was brought a little closer together.

so while you can still see a little smuduge of what you did, i don't want it taken down. i want it left there as a daily reminder to be a little nicer to those that are just beyond my personal space. i want to reach out just a little further, even if its uncomfortable at first. because the result, the memories, and the feelings created were well worth it.
