The closer you are to people, the more you realise what has happened to them.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I find the closer you get to people, the harder it is to satirise them.
We keep passing unseen through little moments of other people's lives.
The places I've been, or passed through, or seen at a distance, have had as much an impact on my life as the people I've known.
It is my goal to learn as much about the people I'm surrounded by. I am slowly widening who I am close with, and at the same time, growing further away from others.
When you hear about what someone else is going through, and you are unable to distance yourself from it or in any way muzzle your empathy and are inspired to actually do something, these are moments to learn from.
Sometimes I feel people can move past what they've grown up around and their surroundings while in a place and some people need closure after they've left and then coming back. I've seen it happen with people I knew growing up that hated each other, and then years later you go home and you see them walking down the street and they have babies.
Everybody's life has these moments, where one thing leads to another. Some are big and obvious and some are small and seemingly insignificant.
It's the differences in people that help you realize who you are. Even if we silently pass each other on the street.
When you get to see the world, it changes you. You realise that there are all kinds of people out there.
When you're close to somebody, you can never really know how they're experiencing the world.
