Whenever you ask yourself the question: “Does anyone else ever do this weird thing // think these weird thoughts // feel this weird way?”

The answer is almost guaranteed to be yes.

There are a lot of people in the world. They all do and feel things every single day. Every minute for you is 7.1 billion minutes for other people. The collective human experience is vast, and even though we’ll never know about most of it, it still exists. 

The odds are very good that someone in the world, if you were to explain your circumstances, would gasp in recognition and explain that they, too, have exactly the same bad habit or strange fear or bizarre fantasy.

So: Whatever you’re feeling right now – whatever it is you’ve done – you have company. And even if you can’t see them, trust that they would like you if they were lucky enough to meet you.
