Little travelling thoughts

I'm inspired by travelling, every time. Let me tell you why.
Trust a busy, buzzing airport yo remind you just far down the food chain you are. No really, everyone is the same, and really tiny while at it. I see different types of the same person, and I managed to spot myself too.
I'm the quiet, timid looking one, with a calm demeanor, showing that I'm trying to have my life in order. I also carry around my guitar with me, but the bag gives away the fact that it was a budget purchase. I guess the fact that I struggle carrying everything gives my beginner status away.
Look, I don't fly often, and when I do, it's not for long. I prefer in- out missions, because I don't think I've mastered the routine enough to do more than that.
The whole point of this is to tell you that I saw someone who looked like they had a similar life story. I finally got to see how I look in the eyes of everyone else, and to be honest, there's nothing that special about me. I know, that's a bit harsh, but it's true. I think we all need to learn to swallow that little bitter pill.
But, here's the thing; there are so many people on this planet that are similar to you. You might've even met your own doppelganger. What's important here is that none of the people like you are you. Only you are you, and that's the difference. We live live in pursuit of our similarities, trying to cover them up so we have no differences.
Maybe there are so many similar people because you are you. Maybe you're so different because you are you. Either way, you are you.
Imagine a world where the quiet kid at the back of your class is finally heard. You reckon the ground would shake a little? Random thoughts.
Happy living, adventurous living!
