Shared memory

I always find it so strange how people come together simply because they experienced the same thing together.
I find it strange and wonderful.

I love it when I see people who I went to Poland with. Sometimes you just need to say, "Remember Auschwitz/Birkenau? That was so heavy and affected me a lot." And they'll say, "I know, I feel the same."
Sometimes all you need to do is lock eyes and nod. And they know.

So, I would just like to take this time to say - Thank You. To everyone who has shared a lifechanging experience with me. Whether it be Ukraine at an orphanage/hospital. In Poland, at( ). Just kicked it on the porch in the early Spring and talked about life. Or any other experience.
