Throughout a lifetime one can meet thousands of people.
Some merely slip by on your radar; others may have a profound impact on your perspective of the world. Some will hurt you, some will support you, some you will fall in love with, and others will be your saviors. But what all of those thousands of people have in common is that they will teach you some sort of lesson.
How to trust. How to move on. How to love yourself. And how to throw yourself into the chaos of this imperfect world just to seek out something beautiful. This life is all about connections and interactions, finding chemical reactions with some people and atomic explosions with others.
But beauty and pure love can be hard to find. Every person is fighting their own battle, to the point of exuding cynicism, distrust and even aggression.
I myself have no trouble retreating into my mind and stepping on eggshells just to avoid conflict or pain, even to the point of missing out on all of the passion felt by people.
