UNIQUE, NOT ALONE

The facts of our uniqueness are astounding.

You and I are mathematical improbabilities.

Unique DNA.

Unique life.

Magnificent in its complexity.

Yet so often we discount ourselves as ordinary, common, average.

Except when we are

struggling,

hurting,

or feeling ashamed.

Then, we think we are

alone,

singular,

an island.

The truth is:

Each person is unique and everyone struggles.

You are unique, a beautiful complexity,

but you are not alone

unless you choose to be.  

From Every. Single. Day.
