There Are a Lot of People in the World

     Billions of them, I hear. While spending vacation surrounded by large groups of people from all around the world, I came to a realization. Maybe everyone else has already realized this realization, but now I've finally caught on, and I want to share this: Everyone you see and walk past has their own life, their own fears and talents, their own pasts, their own hardships and heartaches, their own faults, their own families and friends, their own hopes and their own moments of complete happiness. Everyone you see, even if it's just passing by them in your car, has so much going on that you don't even know about, and then there are even more people that you don't come in contact with that have all that going on too. Even though we all have so many differences, we all have a lot more in common than we even know sometimes. It just blows my mind. I think if I remember this all the time, I will become a significantly better person.
     I also learned some other things on my vacation (which are not as life-changing, but nonetheless things I learned). I think it would be easiest to follow if I put them in a list under the title of "Things to do on Vacation"

"Things to do on Vacation"

• Don't joke about crashing in an airplane while on an airplane.
• Don't expect water in other states to be tasteless. Sometimes it has that burnt, swamp water flavor.
• Do NOT jump over the pole in the Star Tours line, even though there are a total of zero other people in the line, which would make you think the ride operators wouldn't care.
• Do tell your sister she won't get that wet on a water ride that basically hits you with hoses.
• Don't accidentally take pictures of other people's children while trying to get a snapshot of theme park characters, it's just awkward for everyone.

She would make a great Cho Chang I think.

There are more, but I think it would be more beneficial to the individual/funny to the rest of the world for people to figure them out on their own.
