How do you see the world?
I see it in all its beauty.
When things start to get blurry at one foot from your eyes, you begin to see things in a different perspective.
When I put glasses on or contacts in, I see a whole new world. Most people just see the earth as the place they inhabit until their dying day. The earth is more than that.
It is living, breathing.
I look around at all the strangers. All the people I will never have the opportunity to meet. And some, if I do meet them, how would I know that I haven’t seen them before? On the road driving in the car next to me? Walking down the same path as me?
I wouldn’t know you existed until you stepped into my life.
I wish I knew everyone.
I hate knowing that I’ll miss out on meeting so many amazing people in the world.
But that is another part of life. Inevitable.
I wish people wouldn’t see the world so black and white. When there is so much color. Vibrant color in the world. I have always wanted to go to a giant empty field and just run. Run as far into the field as I could until my legs couldn’t carry me anymore and I could fall into the grass and just lay they, look up at the sky as the sun sets, and watch the stars emerge.

Granted, that is more plausible than meeting every stranger I ever see or hear about.

I just wish I could meet everyone so that I know that they were a living, breathing person. So that they could impact my life in the smallest or biggest of ways.
I want to meet someone new everyday.

Only road bump to that is,

Someone else has to want to meet me.
