We are raised on comparison;
our education is based on it;
so is our culture.
So we struggle to be
someone other than who we are.

Ernest Hemingway once said,
“In our darkest moments, we don’t need advice.”
What we truly need is the power of human connection: a quiet presence, a gentle touch, or the smallest gesture that reminds us we’re not alone.
