Ever wondered?

Ever wondered what it was like to be someone else? To feel what they were feeling? To see what they were seeing? To think like them, talk like them, look like them?

Ever wondered why certain things happen? Why people die? Why war happens? Why violence occurs, why people hate, why people love?

Ever wondered how you could make yourself better? How you could be smarter? How you could be nicer? How people would like you better if you were different, prettier, more talented?

Ever wondered why you feel certain ways? Why you're in love? Why you're angry? Why you're sad, bitter, lonely?

Ever wondered what your purpose in life is? What you're meant to do? What God has planned for you? What you should expect, attempt, fail?

Ever wondered what you'll be like when you're 'all grown up'? What you'll look like? What you'll act like? If you'll be married, parenting, working?

Ever wondered about everything? About anything? Ever doubted? Ever worried? Ever cried, missed, laughed, smiled, loved, loathed, regretted, wished? Have you ever felt that aching feeling in your chest when you know you've disappointed a loved one, or when someone has disappointed you? Ever begged to know why? Ever been stunned into silence by the beauty and complexity of what's all around you- the sky, trees, nature in general? Ever wished that you could change something about yourself so badly you swore you would do anything for it? Ever had a hope, a dream, a broken heart? Ever wished upon a falling star?

I know I have.
