Fix You

Growing Up In The New Age - Marjolaine Ryley
This world is a funny place. 
We are always talking about how giant and massive it.
And it's true. It's a quite a ginormous thing. 
But at the same time, it is a fairly tiny place. 

We are all connected. By a thought, a place, an event, by people. 
Every place we stumble across, every person we rub shoulders with adds to the connections we make. 
We so often think that just because a person lives in another country across a large body of water,
it automatically makes them so different and foreign from us. 
But the truth of the matter is,
we are all just people.
People who need love, care, and affection. 
People who strive to find acceptance, to find friendship, to find connections to one another. 
We are all different in the things we find enjoyable, the things that bring us happiness.
The way we are raised, and the things that we find important.  
But no matter where we are, we can always find those people that connect with us. 
That value the same things we hold dear to our hearts.
That humor the same things that make us laugh.
That find the beauty in a painting or a lyrical melody to such a degree that it can move us to tears. 
It doesn't matter what language we speak, what color our skin is, our mannerisms, or the way we dress. 

People are people. 

We just have to reach out and find them.
