A Special SOOL

Tonight, I was reading www.postsecret.com, a website where anonymous people send in their secrets that they are too afraid to reveal by themselves. As I was reading, I realized that no matter what happens to you, no matter what you go through, you'll never be alone.

You may feel like "this is horrible, no one has ever gone through this before." but thats really not the case. I'm sure someone, somewhere at sometime went through something 10x as bad as what you're going through or feeling right now, or in a year from now, or as bad as you were feeling last week. You just have to think about those people and how they felt and then maybe you wont feel as bad, or maybe you'll understand that what you're going through is nothing to stress over.

"Individually, we are one drop. Together, we are an ocean." - Ryunosuke Satoro

I was reading the postsecret forum on their website, and I clicked on a link that was a secret about someone getting raped. There were 31 pages of replies to that post, all girls who shared their own rape or molestation stories. Reading a few of those made me realize that even if you've been raped, or something a lot less serious than that, there will be others who have gone through it too. So you're never really alone. I know thats a comforting thought whenever you feel like no one understands you.

Maybe reading a few of them will spark something inside of you, as it did for me.

"We sometimes encounter people, even perfect strangers, who begin to interest us at first sight, somehow suddenly, all at once, before a word has been spoken." - Fydor Dostoevsky
