am captivated by the endless stories masked behind the midnight flickers of brightly scattered apartment windows. Behind those curtains and blinds is a person with their own memories and history, a narrative waiting to be told. Where do their daydreams take them? What weighs on their mind? Why are they up at 12:00 a.m.? This fascination of mine has sparked a personal project. My goal is to converse a little more intimately with people—to ask them questions and lend an ear. I’m attempting to ask 99 people a compilation of self-selected 99 questions. Diving into the depths of our hearts to those feelings we left in a bucket of shambles in the back of our minds, I gained some wisdom by asking the simple question: “What was the lesson you learned from the last time you encountered heartbreak?”
