[wordsnquotes]

sonder

(noun) Sonder is defined as the complete cognizance and speculation of the people, who inhabit the world around you. It is the realization that others have a life as complicated as your own. It is the enlightening moment when you become conscious that all the passersby in your life also have a family, love, fears, desires and worries as deep as your own. It is a sense of dissociation, which mirrors an out of body experience, when you wish to watch the world objectively.  (via wordsnquotes)

[wordsnquotes]

It’s not you. It’s anyone. Sometimes I don’t want anyone around. Some afternoons I lie on my bed and the light comes through the shutters on the floor and I think I never want to leave my own room.

Joan Didion, Run River
