There is something to be said about being around people who have lived the same experiences as you. It’s why people like Jenika exist and groups like Alcoholics Anonymous and Narcotics Anonymous have such high success rates. There is power and positivity in numbers. But we often forget that as we trudge through our everyday struggles, that our experiences are not solitary or unique. Somewhere else in the world, someone else had that exact same thought, cried for that exact same reason, and wanted to give up on life the same number of times as you.
