Hi, my name is Vaibhavi Goyal, and welcome to Choose Fullness.

“I’ve never had a unique experience.”
It’s something we hear often, a phrase spoken half in disappointment, half in disbelief, when we realize someone else has felt the very thing we thought belonged to us alone. There’s a strange sadness in it, as though being understood steals something sacred. But what if it’s the opposite? What if the beauty isn’t in having an untouched experience, but in knowing that something inside you was seen, mirrored, and understood by another soul?

We live in a time that glorifies individuality, where uniqueness is currency and solitude is mistaken for strength. We are taught to build our own worlds. Neat, self-sufficient, and unshakable, yet somehow, in all that building, we forget how to let others in. Social media only deepens the illusion: it feeds us fragments of other people’s lives until we begin to feel both surrounded and completely unseen. The spiral of withdrawal is subtle, almost seductive—a quiet turning inward that feels safe at first, but ultimately leaves us hollow, echoing in our own company.

We forget that connection is not a luxury; it is the pulse of being alive.

There is profound holiness in seeing and being seen. In the simple, unguarded exchange of presence. It’s not about conversation or demonstrated eye contact or even the illusion of attentiveness. True connection exists beneath all that, it’s when one soul reaches for another, wordlessly asking to be met, and the other, without hesitation, reaches back. It’s when silence feels full instead of empty, when the air between you rests with understanding, and presence becomes its own kind of language.

When God looks at you, He does not mirror your posture or nod in agreement. He approaches differently, seeing you as you are, not as you pretend to be. He meets you in your rawest state and simply calls you loved. We may never reach the full depth of that divine understanding, yet we are called to try. To meet one another with softness, patience, and with the quiet courage to sit with another’s humanity, unafraid.

This kind of connection is sacred. It is a form of worship, not one bound by hymns or rituals, but one rooted in love, humility, and devotion. When we choose to see someone as God sees them, when we practice loyalty without condition and compassion without pride, we embody the very heart of His covenant. To give of yourself wholly, and to receive another without hesitation, is to honor the Creator who designed us for communion, not competition.

Ask yourself: what would it look like to live this way? To slow down enough to notice someone’s need, and to meet it without waiting for a reason? To accept help without shame, knowing that allowing someone to love you is also an act of grace? Connection requires surrender, but in that surrender, we find abundance.

So the next time you find yourself reflecting on your life and thinking, “I’ve never had a unique experience,” let it remind you of the miracle of sameness, the quiet truth that our stories were never meant to stand alone. We are threads in a much larger tapestry, interwoven by divine intention, each holding the others in place.

The overlap is not something to resent; it is something to cherish. Because it’s in the overlap, in the shared ache, the mirrored joy, the familiar longing, that we find the proof that we were never meant to walk through this world untouched by one another. Extend your soul. Ask for theirs. Hold on, and don’t let go.

So remember—your glass is full. Whether you see it that way is up to you.
