We Are the Same



Do you know that we think the same?

Regardless of our age, our color, our successes or failures – we are the same inside.  We all fear rejection. We all want to be handsome or pretty.  We all want to be understood.

We all feel hurt when we are backstabbed. When we are misunderstood. When we are ignored. 

We all feel hunger. We thirst. We all grow tired and weary. We love.

We are the same.  You. And I.

We have common threads that bind each one of us together. Threads that can be understood, resonated with, and felt by each other.

We all know what it feels like to shed tears and to feel heartbreak.

So why do we keep hurting each other? Why do we reject one another and say that someone else isn’t “good enough?” Why do we ignore the needy? The hungry? 

Why do we fail to open our arms to the hurting and broken?

We can give, what we need.

We can offer, what we want.


We just need to open our eyes and see that we are all the same. We are all in this together.

Dionna: I have lived this issue of not feeling good enough. I have a friend who was told a project she had worked on was not good enough. Another friend tried to correct a mistake someone made and the person in charge seemed to make the issue larger. I could go on and on about these things we feel. Thank you for your compassion and your outlook.
