You’re Not Alone

Universal Secret Number Nine: Even When You Feel Like It

There are these moments — quiet, heavy ones — where it feels like the whole world is moving, and you’re just… stuck.

Like everyone else, you’ve received the memo on how to do life, and you’re still trying to figure out how to breathe through the fog. And in those moments, it’s so easy to believe the lie that you’re alone that no one gets it.

That no one sees you.

But here’s the truth I keep coming back to: you’re not alone, even when it feels like it.

Even when the room is silent, your phone is dry, and your thoughts are loud.

You’re not the only one who’s ever felt lost, tired, or like you’re too much and not enough all at once.

We’re all carrying invisible stuff.

We’re all trying to make sense of things.

And the wild part?

Most of us are just waiting for someone else to take the first step.

That’s where vulnerability comes in.

That terrifying, beautiful act of saying, “Hey, I’m not okay,” or “I’ve been there too.”

It’s not a weakness. It’s a bridge. It’s how we find each other in the dark. It’s how we remember we’re human.

And yeah, it’s scary.

But it’s also the thing that cracks open connections — real, messy, soul-level connections.

It’s the courage to be vulnerable that can lead to the most profound connections.

Because connection isn’t just a want — it’s a need.

Like water.
Like air.

We’re wired for it.
We heal in it.
We grow in it.

And sometimes, all it takes is one honest moment to remind someone (or yourself) that you’re not in this alone. Your need for connection is not a weakness; it’s a strength. It’s what makes you human, and it’s what makes you significant in this world.

So, if you’re feeling isolated right now, know that someone out there gets it. 

I get it.

Someone out there would be honored to hold space for your story.

And maybe — just maybe — they’re waiting for you to go first.

It takes courage to reach out, and your bravery is commendable.

You might be surprised at how many people are waiting for someone to take that first step.
