sidenote: I know there's a little bit of me that will always be naive. i grew up in the Idaho mountains with people who still don't lock their doors to this day. but i have a hard time taking in what i've seen and experienced so far here in central america.

i'm torn between allowing it to give me a wider perspective, and becoming dumbfounded in the despair.
