animofIoreMy other favorite thing to do besides birdwatching. People-watching has a funny way of changing my perspective on people who might otherwise come across as arrogant, rude, or unapproachable. It reminds me that everyone has a life of their own, filled with little joys, worries, heartbreaks, and stories that I might never get to know. Somehow, seeing people go about their everyday lives makes them feel so much more human to me. I love watching how everyone seems to be living their lives, each in their own little world, completely unaware of the stories unfolding around them. It makes me realize that I'm not the only one going through something that feels so personal to me. Somewhere along the road, there's someone feeling upset over a spilled drink, someone smiling to themselves after having a really good meal, someone who just failed their first job interview, someone falling in love, someone missing home, and so many other little stories happening all at once. I mean, isn't it wonderful? The thought that we're all carrying our own little worlds, experiencing different things, yet somehow sharing so many of the same feelings... I may not know these people and they may never know I exist, but it's always incredibly comforting to know that I'm not alone in this world.
