Crash

“It’s the sense of touch. In any real city, you walk, you know? You brush past people, people bump into you. In L.A., nobody touches you. We’re always behind this metal and glass. I think we miss that touch so much, that we crash into each other, just so we can feel something.”
- Opening scene of Crash

When I read this quote, something just clicked inside of me. That feeling you get when someone articulates that nagging feeling you've been experiencing for the longest time. In the midst of our hectic, urban lifestyles...have we forgotten to carve out space for each other? What's this barrier that we've formed that prevents us from seeing and being seen? And all this time, the soul just burns to be known.
