When you’re young, the world seems so scary
because it seems so much bigger than you and so unknown,
yet safe from where you stand.
When you grow up, the world feels so much smaller,
but even more daunting than the world we knew as a child.
Because while the size and uncertainty was what worried us as children,
we grow up and learn the real things to be scared of,
so that when we look at the world, we wish it were just a little bigger,
so that maybe the troubles would be just a little further away.
Maybe everything that hurt so badly,
wouldn’t be quite so conceivable in our everyday lives.
