On Life:

Notes On Sonder: I hadn’t heard the term “sonder” until reading this beautiful post from C’est Christine. The word essentially means, “the realization that each random passerby is living a life as vivid and complex as your own” and Christine shares a lovely story about a recent experience with sonder.

On Blogging:
