I have a strange obsession with ampersands. You know, "and."One: I love that the ampersand can be plain and simple, or ornate and elegant. Two: Its meaning is one of anticipation and hope. Something, something AND. Ampersand says, "I'm not done yet, so keep your ears on." Or it can say, "Something really awful happened, I need you to listen." Or "Let me tell you about my amazing day! More than one good thing happened." But most of all, I think this is a symbol of a mentality such as: "I could end this right here, but I'm going to keep moving forward."
Ampersand can be small and timid, forlorn and lonely, loud and bold, or pretty and carefree. It doesn't matter what state you're in. As long as you keep moving forward, keep chugging, and don't let your story get cut short... there is always something beautiful to come.
And.
and.
AND.
pause.
Everything may come to a complete halt without warning. Life may end as we know it but right now, it's not going to, so pay attention.
