Every day is like a battle sometimes because we go into work and sometimes we don’t have time for the things we truly love in life…

People expect when you’re out here that you’re protesting or something that is very political or negative since we’re in DC but I don’t know its just something that is just vey simple that everyone needs.

Today my girlfriend joined me for sign holding. She’s been there since the start. It was like a week after [I met her] that I wanted to do sign holding so I told her hey we’re doing this sign holding event and we’re just showing positive messages to random strangers.”

“You know of course at first I was like this is crazy. Why would we do this? But we were pretty quick to realize that it was making a bigger impact than we all realized," said Bonnie Culpepper.

“It’s been great because we’ve been able to share this special project not just with ourselves but with the entire community, the country and the world. So it's been very special," said Adipour.

“I think that stepping outside of your comfort zone is a really big drive of the project and that’s something that I’ve definitely learned from Massoud. You know you learn to live a fuller life by doing so," said Culpepper.

“Its just one of those things that sometimes its hard to get up but when you come out here and you actually experience it first hand then you realize the difference that you’re making…so I don’t know its just a small thing that add up to something bigger in life. So this is kind of the point of the project. I don’t know I think there’s a bright future for it," said Adipour.
