Curious

It's curious, sometimes, to be on the other end of situations which one's been in before, but always on one side. It's slightly discomforting, but wildly eye-opening, like seeing the Milky Way for the first time, and realizing that all your previous viewpoints were not just incorrect, but in fact completely irrelevant on the global scale of things. Some situations commonly seem simple and easy, but being in one on the other side really opens eyes, though not always in a cheerful way..
