Dear Diary,
Learning everything about someone is sort of a surreal experience to me, who they are, where they're from, events in their life, etc...
We as individuals view the world from only our perspective even if the focus of our life is to help other people in need so.
Yesterday I looked around the classroom I was in and just thought: "everyone in here is a soul just like me, their own memories, scars, emotions and I know nothing about them". Its hard not to walk the world seeing everyone else as just game-like NPC's because unless you know them personally they mean nothing to you, if they died the day after you wouldn't care, if that persons family died you wouldn't care, and that's if you'd even ever know it happened to them because again... they're a face you probably won't ever see again.
Every single day on the news channel there is a story about someone dying... someone in a car crash, house fire, murder, freak accident, etc... and we don't even flinch because we never knew them.
A whole life of memories and relationships could be wiped away in the blink of an eye, someone right now as this is being written and read is dying, even while we acknowledge this we just simply don't care because they're just NPC's roaming the world.
For the last 5-6 months I've started to very grow close to someone I've known for about a year. I know everything about her and that is what started this whole thought of acknowledging the world as more than NPC's. See the thing is I've haven't met her in person (yet), we met each other online and have grown closer through texts, calls, face-timing, etc... She has her own life, her own friends, specific people she talks to everyday at school, and various other things she does about her day just as I do and because we have stayed on facetimes and or calls through out our day I've been able to witness this, meet her friends, play video games online with all of them and even become friends with them too. Someone over a thousand miles away and I know everything about her... that's crazy and fun to me.
This is a really dramatic reaction to this type of thought, I'm sure most of us have thought of this already and just let it pass through our minds in the fraction of a second but I enjoyed thinking deeper into it.
