Sonder
Sonder - “The realisation that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own - populated with their own ambitions, friends, routines, worries and inherited craziness.”
That’s Sonder…not Sondar (otherwise Dan Dare will be on my case!)
I recently came across this word, and it’s wonderful definition. I say recently. It feels familiar. Have I written about it before? I don’t know. But I do know that the realisation it mentions is a fantastic one to have.
I hope that your own particular and unique “vivid and complex” life is going in a good direction. I’m so glad I’m sharing it with you, whether I know you or not.
And I know I’ve said this before, but it bears repeating many times - what a frickin’ privilege we have!
Let’s go out there and make it the best life possible. Whether we have 60 minutes left, or 60 years.
