"A wonderful fact to reflect upon, that every human creature is constituted to be that profound secret and mystery to every other. A solemn consideration, when I enter a great city by night, that every one of those darkly clustered houses encloses its own secret; that every room in every one of them encloses its own secret; that every beating heart in the hundreds of thousands of breasts there is, in some of its imaginings, a secret to the heart nearest it!"
--Charles Dickens, "A Tale of Two Cities"

Have you ever been in a really crowded room, when suddenly the epiphany hits you:
Each individual has their own life, their own story, their own perspective and take on the world. Everyone has their little secrets, those little moments that you wish you could forget, those trials that ultimately make us stronger.

These are all people that I've known, that I've been, or that I may never meet. These are their lives, the situations that bring out the best and the worst in each of them. Because they're only human. We're all only human. And once we see life through another's eyes, it's that much easier to relate.
