32. Every person has a story...
...but I think so many of us have forgotten that. We all keep our stories hidden.

Society runs at a very surface level. It's all shopping, work, soccer practice, hanging
out in our glassed-in back porches and burying our faces in our computer screens.

We're all so pulled inward. We rarely hear each others' stories. But we've all got one.
By sharing our stories, we connect and we begin to expand our universe, let people in and become
more human and empathetic. We need more of this!

You are a brave, resilient soul. Not everyone has the capacity to rise from the ashes. I hope you pay
value to yourself for all that you have endured and all that you have overcome.

You need to have a ceremony--bake yourself a cake, light some candles and recognize and celebrate your
life.

:) :hug:
