Isn’t it funny how people who’ve suffered the most…
and those who are truly content…
seem to understand each other?
They’ve both been stripped down.
By pain or by peace.
Either way, the mask falls off.
No need to impress.
No desire to compare.
Just a quiet knowing: we made it through — or we let it go.
One side climbed through the storm.
The other side found stillness in the valley.
But both know the summit isn’t status. It’s perspective.
Shared hardship and earned peace have more in common than we think.
Different path. Same altitude.
