"There comes a time when people will unexpectedly tell you what to do. Sometimes they will show you how to do things you’re only seeing for the first time. How to cut a paper in half without leaving any trace of curvy and scratchy lines. How to spell a word you didn’t recognize. They will show you how to move your feet and sway your body with your hands and call it a dance. How to utter words with your whole heart each time you heard a lovely beat, and then you will call it music. And when you ask them where you can see a certain place, some of them will walk with you and lead you there.
While others will draw a sketch and label all the directions you need to know, from North to South, and East to West. Each person you meet will teach you something, whether it’s good or bad. A lesson you thought you won’t be needing to understand. But as you go on living your life, there will come a time when that person you saw yesterday will suddenly come into your mind. And when that time arrives, finally you will understand. You will have an answer to a question you thought you will never ask."
