Each Infinite Horizon

I recently came across this definition (made up by the Dictionary of the Obscure), which essentially nails down my thought process towards naming this blog. 

sonder 

n. the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own—populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness—an epic story that continues invisibly around you like an anthill sprawling deep underground, with elaborate passageways to thousands of other lives that you’ll never know existed, in which you might appear only once, as an extra sipping coffee in the background, as a blur of traffic passing on the highway, as a lighted window at dusk.

I created this space while thinking of how full the world is, and how each life is heading in a different direction, each person traveling towards their own 'horizon' where their goals and dreams and someday-hopes are kept.

I'm just one of the masses, with my own list of passions, hopes and stories. But I welcome you to watch my story unfold, because I think even the most ordinary have something to offer.

And I wish you all the best, chasing your own horizons.
