I used to feel this overwhelming insignificance in crowds but now I think it’s when I feel most hopeful. So many people living their lives so many faces so many hearts. I like to wonder about their lives, their families, their jobs. Are they married? Do they have children? Do they ever wish they were someone or somewhere else? And are they happy? I hope they’re happy.
