NYC Strangers

Usually when walking around, we tend to be absorbed in ourselves, what we have going on at work, with family, looking at our phones, or listening to music. People pass us by, but they are simply existing in our world. We tend to forget that they have a story. Maybe they are on their way to their dream job, or the job they hate but need to work in order to pay the bills. They could be on their way to see family or friends. They could be a tourist, or never have even left the city. They could be having a great day, or have just received horrible new. Finding that moment of realization of the humanity of those around us is extremely beautiful, and quite humbling.
