Wide-Eyed

Sometimes I feel like a little kid walking around a world that's so big.
My eyes wide open to everything, just watching.

And I'm still learning. Do we really ever stop? It seems the longer I'm here, the more I realize how much there is to know, to learn, to grow.

Only in admitting this do I look around and begin to see, to see that we're all one in the same. It's not a measure of who's burden is heavier; it's about the burdens being carried, and that we're all under the immense weight of them.

I'm learning to share this commonality with others, even when they don't see it in me. Everyone's at battle with something; it's part of being human. Often times we just forget that, I think. We get so caught up in the midst of ourselves that we don't just watch and listen.
