four years ago I had never stood in the ocean, but you expected me to act as if I had seen the world and been influenced by the difference in scenery and culture. you saw me as small because I was just that. my whole world was a town with less than 15,000 people and I was small even there. but I've traveled and I've seen the world now. I've seen culture and lifestyles opposite of my own and I've grown because of that. but you still choose see me as the small child who's never seen the ocean.
