I found this photograph on my phone. I don't know who this person is. It was taken on December 6th of 2014. I don't know where I was that day or how this could have happened. Someone, please, help me understand this.

In the mid to late nineties I developed an obsession with the singer Sheryl Crow. My love for Sheryl could only be expressed in two ways-- one, printing off every photograph of her I could find on the '97 internet and taping them across my school binders and two, soliciting the help of a stranger on the internet to teach me how to code HTML so that I could build a shrine to Sheryl. Her fourth album was so bad, however, that I deleted the whole thing and pretended I had never loved Sheryl Crow as much as I had. I regret nothing.
