Sharing our stories is not only helpful for people going through something similar, but it can be healing in itself. Our pain being acknowledged, our experience being ‘seen’ and our voice being heard is cathartic. Knowing that we are not alone, knowing that someone else is living through something similar, understanding that there are a multitude of ways to cope, finding out that you’re not the only person in the world who is struggling, resonating with someone else’s experience – all these shared experiences help.
Five Things brings together hundreds of people’s experiences. Through the project, we’ve been able to share their lessons and their words of wisdom; lessons born from their lives, their jobs, their loves, their illness, their imminent death or the death of someone intrinsic to their life, their grief. In their own words and on their own terms, they have collaborated with us to create an ever-growing social resource of information, advice, musings, reflections and learnings.
Five Things belongs to you, it’s for you and it’s about you.
