BE SOMEONE

This graffiti in Houston has been there for at least a decade. I never really liked it because I saw it as pressure to be someone as in rich or famous. But recently someone ruined the original art and media outrage ensued. I discovered that to some of my fellow Houston natives this message inspired hope, and I started to see street art with a new set of eyes, looking for the deeper meaning in each artwork. Be someone now means that if I have a dream, I can pursue it, the journey won't be easy but the dream is possible and all I gotta do is try. Instead of seeing graffiti as tacky I now see some of it as beautiful.

Here is my picture I took recently.
