My new favorite word: sonder.

It's the profound awareness that every person you encounter has experienced a lifetime of hopes, fears, loves, and heartaches that you'll never know.

Each moment of sonder is a reminder to appreciate how little we truly grasp about others' lives.

The sun rose where I am. I spent the night not sleeping in my hotel room. It was dark and slow and lonely.

I had thought if it happened it wouldn’t be as hard as last time. Because it would be less of a shock. But it was harder, actually, and for the same reason. No one went into this naively. This was chosen.

But now my people are checking in with me, and vice versa. The sun is up. I already feel less alone.

This is me checking in with you: you’re not alone and you’re NOT wrong. This is going to feel bad. It’s going to BE bad. But the sun rose. You deserve its warmth, every day, and we are already closer to a future in which this will be the fucked up past.

Take care of one another and yourself. See you tonight if that’s helpful to you.

Cigna uses an automated system that allows “medical directors” (doctors employed by @Cigna) to deny a claim in 1.2 seconds without opening the patient’s file.

Please read this, share it, and help us (metaphorically) burn these companies to the ground.

Kim Kardashian starting to date Pete Davidson exactly 9 months ago and breaking up within a DAY of Khloe’s baby being born and stealing the headlines almost makes me believe in conspiracy theories
