Remembering Sonder

I now know there’s a tendency to magnify what’s happening in my personal reality, while overlooking what’s happening in someone else’s.

I now know it’s easy to misunderstand what’s really going on in someone’s life. There is so much that occurs beyond what I can perceive.

I now know that asking someone to share his or her perspective is one of the best things you can do for someone. Everyone wants to be understood a little bit better.

I have experienced sonder. It’s a feeling I try not to forget, because it’s a great starting point for connecting with others.
