Something incredible, I would dare say miraculous, happens when we can sit around in a room- or, you know wherever, and open our hearts and say: you know what. Me too- and I think that's why the me too movement was so popular and is so connecting across the globe- is that, yeah? I'm a part of a community that has gone through this and together we can heal.
