Contemplation

You know that moment where you realize how little you actually know? It's not necessarily that you thought you knew everything, but you just never found out how wrong you were. I just had one of those moments; well, I'd say I'm constantly having them.

It's amazing how everyone is moving in all sorts of directions and how we can live our lives unaware of our neighbor's road-map. We never know where a person has been or where they are going, unless we ask. Every single person has some nuance about them that makes them "them", but so often we live our lives just focused on "us". It's crazy to think that among everyone on this Earth that we all have our own individual stories and tales that end up making us unique.

I think that's something I really like about people as a whole; by definition, there should never be a dull moment in friendships or dating or what have you. You are constantly discovering little facets about everyone you meet, maybe things you never expect or things that make sense, but you'd never even considered.

Knowing that I don't know as much as I thought I did just makes me want to ask questions even more so. However, this is a double edged sword. What if my curiosity pushes people away? What if my attempt at becoming closer just gets me more detached in the end?

Ah well, I'll get my answers all in due time. It'd be helpful if I could even answer the questions myself, right? :P
