Sometimes I get the feeling that I'm stranded in the wrong time where love is just a lyric in a children's rhyme ↗

#love

Lovesick, bitter and hardened heart. Aching, waiting for life to start ↗

I like to feel that what I'm doing portrays this: a family where there is love between mother, father and the kids. It's a subject that is near and dear to me. ↗
