We need them.
The people who understand us.
The small band of close ones who display the right combination of empathy and compassion.
You are insecure, neurotic, scared, and full of doubts about something.
You hesitate to share this with anyone.
It is your secret in the dark.
You take a risk and start to explain.
To shed light.
Your words come slowly, pausing about to stop at any moment.
Your Narrator makes you regret that you began.
Your story flows, your doubts grow.
They nod.
They listen.
Some have even been down the same road.
They share as well.
You thought you were alone.
They are on a journey too.
Simple words.
“I Totally Get It.”
That is the crew we all need.
