A Moment of Clarity

As I write this story, I am brought back to a moment that I remember so fondly. A time when I finally came to the realization that we, as humans, are so small in this immense world. I stood on this boardwalk in September 2016 while studying abroad in Australia, took a look around, and realized how very small I was compared to the vast rainforest that I was in. Only being 21 at the time, I was still naive to many realities of the world. Having moved much of my belongings to Australia, completely on my own, for the next six months, I was quickly awoken to how big our world is. This “awakening” happened through many experiences, but this experience certainly sticks out the most, and will be one that I remember for the rest of my life.
