In the same vein of not getting chizuk from chizuk, I don’t feel hopeful hearing other people’s stories. I’m not really moved by anyone else’s happy ending. It’s like, “Well, I’m glad it worked out for you…” I don’t want yours, I want mine.
Which is why I was moved by this interview. I have not been a regular SOH listener (which is probably obvious from this post), but sentiments Tzipora shared in this interview were deeply relatable. How painful it can be to sit and listen to other people’s stories while yours is still not the one you want.
I’m curious about your perspective on this. Do you like to hear other people’s hopeful stories? Or not?
