Sad (separate)
If you're like me, sometimes you'll be out in public around a bunch of other people and be like "huh, these are whole people with lives and experiences just as real as mine." Some of them might be people I'd become super good friends with if we actually got to know each other, but we'll never even meet. It's kinda a sad thought, but what can ya do?

Sonder - the realization that everyone has lived their own life & have their own story to tell.
You're breaking my heart
That was a gossamer connection. The deeper we know people, the stronger the connection gets. But we're all connected—even with people we haven't even met yet or never will. It's just very subtle. Potential is awesome.
Reminds me of ppl I met while I was deployed. We were around each other a little longer, but still… too fast.
OOF
Sweet story! I spent a day wondering around San Francisco with a complete stranger and we had the best day - only at the end we asked each other's name and he broke down as mine was the same as his sister. Typing this made me realise it was 21 years ago - a miracle would be if he is here with you on Patreon 😊
Ah, I'm Dutch and that verb should be 'wandering' reading it back but wondering covers the day too 💖
I didn't need such a nostalgia feeling on a Monday morning!! 😭😭😭
See, that's your problem: you're a Protagonist. Take from an NPC,, like me, we're all just one-trick ponies, walking along a big circuit of movement, day in and day out. Speakin' of which *ahem* "Use WASD to move!"
Oh, my heart.
Oh man i feel this so hard
There's a word for that, it's called "sonder"
Or when I was young I thought the whole universe is what is see nothing else would happen unless I see it. My own little world
True but now they are part of each other's story.
Totally relevant, on regarding about people whom we may only come across once in our life and than never fully know about them. Even the friendliest person we come across but never really know too well. Wonderful Strip As Always! 🙂
I don't feel as sad not meeting people, being more introverted. I feel sad that it's so hard to find people I would be interested in meeting without having to go through a bunch that range from "gods, go away" to "I want to throw you in a wood chipper."
There is no accidental meeting between souls.
I was with you up til being sad about not meeting people 😆 As an introvert I am totally fine with Not meeting all the people.
I'm pretty introverted too. I don't wanna meet ALL the people, but it would be nice to meet the few that I'd have really good chemistry with.
Unfortunately, that’s not a lie. It’s not humanly possible to make all the connections between people who we might be friends with and learn their stories. You could be walking past your soul mate, and you’d never know because life might not be kind enough to give you the chance to get to know them. Makes my heart heavy thinking about it.
I think about this all the time...so many strangers who could become like family to me if we met
"A stranger is a friend you haven't met."
i had it the other way around. i thought "what if these guys can become my real life friends?". anf yeah, i met my friends through twitter then we ended up seeing each other in personal. it was risky because we all just met through social media but hey, if you're lucky, you'll get to know them well enough to be your bffs. and now they'll be my bridesmaids 😊
me and my best friend met on Instagram 12 years ago, and I was in fact her maid of honor at her wedding ahahaha
Bruh, I just got back from an anime convention and I feel this comic in my soul
Meanwhile, on the new dogs side of things- As cool as that would be, I feel this one a lot. There’s so many different paths and trails in life, and the reality is that we can’t explore them all (weather that’s a hobby or character concept)
I think similar thoughts from time to time.
It really is interesting how impactful a small interaction with someone can be though, even if you never see them again.
Most people in life are temporary, but it doesn’t have to be a bad thing. Make the most of it y’all
Please have them come back. I know it’s unrealistic but for pixie’s sake, I’d like to see them meet again
There are so many stories that will never be told 😢
