The world isn’t always what’s right in front of you, you know? It’s below, it’s above, it’s out there somewhere. Every burn of every light inside every house I see when I look down from the rooftop has a story. Sometimes we just need to change our perspective. And when I look down at everything, I remember that there’s more out there than just what’s going on in my house–the bullshit with my dad, school, my future. I look at all those full houses, and I remember, I’m just one of many. It’s not to say we’re not special or important, but it’s comforting, I guess. You don’t feel so alone. . Penelope Douglas
About This Quote

This quote is a perfect example of how important perspective is. When you view your life from the right perspective, you can see that there are people that are suffering all around you, but you are not alone. You are not the only one who feels pain, anger, loneliness, grief or disappointment. There are people out there who understand what you are going through and share your pain. When you have someone to talk to or someone to smile at, it makes your life so much better.
