If I believe what is scrawled and scribbled on walls, there’s a lot of love out there…. but not all of it is “happily ever after”. Unrequited love can be a sad thing as Mickey has learned.

below: “Look around, love around”. Like philosophy, it can be interpreted as you wish. It’s like “vague posting” on social media.

below: I hope that you all have a “baby love dove”! It sounds very romantic!

below: Elevate love

below: “Love your neighbor”

below: I will file this one under ‘love’ as well

below: And this one as love too – although it could be lust or just admiration? Nah, the hearts give it away. Alex probably knows the answer.

below: “I’ve always known it was you” is another rather ambivalent statement. Yes, you are the one and only for me or, yes, you’re the one who stole my phone…. It could be the start of many narratives!

below: And of course, there is always the opposite of love

Some text reads like the words of a motivational speaker…
below: … such as this one, “You are sacred, you are worthy”

below: “You’re almost there”

below: “Fear less, create more”

below: “Hope is tax free”

A few graffiti sayings sound like they could have been written by your therapist.
below: Take seriously each other’s vulnerability”

below: “Practice being brave”

below: “We need each other”

Some get philosophical (or at least try)
below: “No moment more fleeting than the present”


Or more political…
below: “To be wealthy and honored in an unjust society is a disgrace.” … although at least one person has made it known that they disagree.

below: “We are poor because they are rich.”

There are some warnings on those walls and fences too!
below: Poor Laura!

Sometimes there is just a bit of whimsy
below: Henry has left his mark here.

But, as we all know, many have no meaning at all…
below: … unless someone has decided to name themselves Potato 300
