Mile: A unit of length equal to 1609.344 meters.
Microns are actually really small, when you think about it. They're used to measure the diameters of fibers (ever thought about the thickness of a single fiber?). They're used to measure the size of microorganisms. I believe the pores of air filters are sized up in microns.
Miles, on the other hand, are rather big (at least in comparison). Certainly not as big as light-years, or parsecs, though. What isn't measured in miles? There are no kil0-miles, so everything in the standard unit system bigger than a mile is measured in, well, miles.
This post is about the moments in life when microns feel like miles. When being a hair's breadth away still feels like eons. I'm not going to belabor the point, partly because I know you all know the moments I'm talking about, regardless of whether or not I keep rambling, and partly because it's late.
But it's important to be able to break through that invisible barrier to the other side. Risk something once in a while.
So close to reaching, that famous happy end
Almost believing, this was not pretend
Now you're beside me, and look how far we've come...
So far, we are, so close.
