If there's one good thing to come out of the pandemic, it’s that we’ve all been able to quietly look at our lives to see what is real, what is true and what essentials remain removed from all that we’ve built to protect us. For many of us, we felt what it’s like to be truly vulnerable for the first time and it’s this vulnerability that has jolted us to finally be very open about ourselves, enough to share what we find out about ourselves to others that might be in a similar journey. Because if there’s something that we’ve learned from this global crisis, it’s that we are all ultimately connected to each other and that life is about shared experiences.
