june 12, 2022 the power of strangers

On June 12th I was in Switzerland. The Ice Palace Jungfraujoch in Fieschertal, Switzerland to be specific. 4,941.08 miles from my house. It was obviously cold so I was wearing a sweatshirt. A sweatshirt by the brand We’re Not Really Strangers, and my sweatshirt said that verbatim. This guy approached me and said hi. He was wearing a sweatshirt from the same brand that said “You are bigger than what is making you anxious”. I was flabbergasted. We began to talk and had such an awesome conversation, and I couldn’t believe it. Everyone around us was pretty confused as to why we were so excited, but they didn’t get it. The truth is we’re not really strangers and that is so powerful.
