A world beyond one's self.

Ever found yourself lost in the sea of people swarming around you? After watching the day and life video of youtube, I have begun to circumspect my surroundings with a renewed vision. It was around 5:30 when I dragged my heavy school bag( nicknamed suitcase) down the hard rubber-like road when I noticed the crowd around me was not a mere background of bright colors and noises; they were real people, real people with stories and separate lives. Two college students wearing black jackets and jeans were heading off to dinner for a power- up after their long day of studying, an old man was standing in front of the 7-11 counter with a baby carriage counting coins for a piece of candy bar, two elementary school kids with blue and grey backpacks and identical light green uniforms and white sneakers were tiptoeing around motorcycles blocking at least half of the side road, and a middle- aged mother was waving her child and her boyfriend into the car. The world is spinning around me, and it seemed as if at that moment, my existence didn't really matter at all. If I were to disappear tomorrow, the world could very much leave me behind and carry on the other people's lives. Which is why I am not determined to do so. I will never allow the world to abandon me. I want my story to be glorifying and worthwhile, at least to me.
