"When I was 19, my girlfriend and I were going to study in Paris. Our boyfriends came to the docks to see us off. Right as we were getting on the ship, my friend's boyfriend said to her: 'If you go, I won't wait for you.' So she turned around and decided to stay. My fiance saw this and told me: 'I won't wait for you either.'

I said: 'Don't!'"

Let's look at who started this blog, why and it's development path before we go any further. The short video will fill you in:  http://www.humansofnewyork.com/about
