Think about the most exciting or embarrassing thing that has ever happened to you.

Think about your happiest, saddest, or weirdest moment.

Think about when you your bravest, proudest, or happiest.

Who is the first person you run to when one of these things happen? Who knows even the most minute details of your life? Who has seen behind your walls, or knows how to break them down?

Everyone should have an answer to those questions. All of those moments, whether they are inconsequential or monumental, make up who and what you are. You would not be yourself without them.

We are part of a generation that normalizes the dismissal of our emotions. We do not place importance on reflecting on how certain instances made us feel. We are much less likely to allow someone else into our lives and work to understand us.

This needs to change.

It doesn't matter if you tell the world, or just one person who is your world. Find someone to pour your soul into. Make who and what you are known. Let someone in.

Your story is one of a kind, and no one will hear your story unless you tell it.
