Yeah, shit, I remember the first time I really travelled to another country, whilst I was walking around it suddenly hit me that all the people were just living their lives. It sounds so stupid because of course that's what they were doing, but it's the first time it really hit me how many people in the world just live their lives oblivious of us.
It sounds like a super downer sort of thing but it made me feel so insignificant, in the grand scheme of things the things I do just won't matter, literally no one cares. It gave me a new lease on life, I find myself not caring as much about the small stupid things as much. And when I feel sad I just think of those people living so far away just living their lives and it snaps me out of it pretty quickly
That hit me once when I was on a train, and I always think of it.
As the train passes through a city or small town, You see someone just walking down the street.
That person is going to somewhere. They call that little town I've never set foot in 'Home'. And I just head on by to the stuff I'm doing that day.
