Strangers

Did you ever stop in the middle of a crowed place and think to yourself I wonder what their story is? I wonder what they have been though? I often think about that. All the billions of people on Earth have their own story, have their own experiences, and have their own life. I wish I had a superpower to be able to read people and just know their stories. I just think its unreal that we go through life and we have a few friends, and of course family; but honestly how much do we all really know about each other? I've lived with my best friend for the last two years, but I've known her my whole life and I'm still finding things out about her. I then start to wonder about that "one special person we are all supposed to meet." A lot of people these days are getting married at a younger age and all so that means less time to get to know someone. I've heard stories about people getting married after knowing someone for a few months and I just think that is crazy because really how much can you find out about a person in that short of time? Not judging of course...good for them if they can be that compatible with someone in that short of time. I just think that this is why our divorce rates are so high because people get married when they are still in the "honeymoon stage" of their relationship and then realize that there is a lot more to that person that makes you love them more or less. I for one don't even know myself all that great, I'm still learning new things about myself everyday.

All of us are strangers to each other, even the people we think we know the most. It's just a crazy thing to think about, that every person on this earth has their own deep dark secrets which are probably far worse than our own. We think our bad days are terrible, but the person next to you could only have a month left to live, making your bad day not so bad. This is how I go on with my life. I've had so many bad experiences in a hospital and such, but you know what I came out of it living...you cant say that for everyone. So if you are having a bad day...just think that the stranger next to you could be having a far worse day.
