Throughout our lives, we cross paths with countless people. It happens during our everyday commute, when going to the local supermarket, while visiting the park. Without realising, there are certain people we pass by on a daily basis, yet most of these encounters remain insignificant, they are just one tiny water ripple in a river that is in constant flux. There are instances where we go through our whole lives unaware of people who have been walking the same streets, breathing the same air, eating cakes from the same store as us.

Life can be quite fickle, peppering our days with all sorts of people but never telling us which ones are worth our time, which ones will become lifelong companions, which ones will care for us. Life can be quite fickle, and sometimes multiple encounters are required for two people to take notice of each other’s presence. Life can be quite fickle, and sometimes the timing is just not right.

Some lives are like parallel lines moving along in the same direction but never quite touching no matter how close they seem to be. However, there are moments when the parallel paths reach a level of intricate intimacy that they might converge, and during that process we are left yearning for more.

Let’s embark on this journey together and bear witness to three individuals’ multiple encounters throughout their lives, and how a series of insignificant encounters became something more impactful.

How long will it take them to notice their parallel paths? And when they do, how will they cross over?

Brace yourselves, for it will be a bumpy journey.
