What is?

To be clear, the quote isn't mine. It's from Rent, at the end of La Vie Boheme. I really felt like writing on my mirror with dry erase markers and I tried several things. First, I wanted to draw a face and then have my two-year old niece look into it but she didn't comply. Then I tried to draw a face to put on my camera but the room had bad lighting and self-photos are the antithesis of artistry (when the camera's in the picture, and the picture is taken in a mirror, and when the flash is on). And don't call me a hypocrite, that's not my hand. So finally I wrote this quote on my mirror and took around 50 pictures of it before I got the right one. I tried different angles, different lighting, different backgrounds. And then I thought of putting a hand in the photo and after 20 photos with the hand, I had my shot.
