This weekend I saw Paramore, one of my favorite bands, play at the Beale Street Music Festival in Memphis. I was moved to literal tears by the set and turned to my friend and said, “it’s crazy how much I relate to their music.” My friend looked me in the eye and said, “Leanne, it’s not crazy because we all feel that way.”
We all go through struggles, many of them more similar to the stranger sitting next to you than you might realize. We all go through cycles of making mistakes, growing, learning, and discovering glory on the other side of the darkness we never thought we’d find our way out of. Stay strong my friends and don’t be so hard on yourselves.

I love this. We often forget that the world doesn’t just revolve around us, and that what we experience in life is not always unique to just us. Its both comforting and humbling to know that we are not alone in life.
I agree. It’s also jarring to realize that despite what everyone hammered in our brains growing up, we aren’t unique.
