It is a gift to others — a gift of compassion, empathy, shared pain and hope. Our vulnerability is rewarded when we understand others are thirsty for it.
It is a gift to ourselves — a gift of a burden lifted, of letting ourselves be seen and feeling the warmth of the gaze of others.
When our stories resonate, that is community. Connection will save us from the perils of the human condition.
