aubsticle:   I have to say that the single most important lesson I learned in 25 years talking every single day to people was that there is a common denominator in our human experience.

I heard it from President Obama. I’ve heard it from heroes and from housewives. I’ve heard it from victims and perpetrators of crime. I even heard it from BE-YON-CÉ in all of her Beyoncé-ness. She finishes performing, hands me the microphone, and says “was that ok?” [x]
