I used to think there was a strong divide between myself and those I have helped and those I can help in the future. And I still think that comes across in some of my writing at times. There may be differences between myself and others, but those differences do not divide us. They should not create an "us versus them" dynamic.
People come from all different circumstances and all different life journeys. Some people's circumstances are much more harsh then others, especially when they don't have access to life's necessities like food, clothing, and shelter. That can be viewed as a big difference between me and them.
However, does this mean deep down that we are on completely different levels as human beings?
Absolutely not.
We are all people. And someone living in the worst conditions could be far smarter than me. They might have the determination and confidence to do things I could never fathom.
And that's why I want to better understand other's journeys. That's why this blog isn't just about me. I'll share my stories; you share some too. I want to hear what everyone has to say.
All of life's experiences have value. And everyone has worth. Everyone's voices should be heard. Everyone has a story to tell.
