If you could see what the person in front of you is carrying, it would probably change the way you talk to them.
The barista making your coffee might be three days into a diagnosis nobody in their life knows about yet. The guy who cut you off in traffic might be driving to a conversation he’s been dreading for weeks. The coworker who seems distracted might be watching their marriage quietly come apart. We move through our days surrounded by people who are navigating something hard, and most of the time, we have no idea.
And if we’re honest, a lot of the time, we’re one of those people too.
