Brand Name or Generic?
There is an undeniable comfort in believing our situations are unique, whether it's the fight we've had with our ex (over road rage), the 24-hour stomach bug (after sushi), or the semi-spontaneous-would-never-have-happened-without-pressure-from-my-sibling tarot card reading (that actually predicted the truth!). And yet when we observe the world around us -- on the streets, in the supermarkets, at the parks, on the lunch lines -- the conversations we "accidentally" overhear and the ordinary activities of other-people-lives we can't help but relate to (tripping over sidewalk cracks, being yelled at by the boss, awkward subway flirtation with the new beau, checking email two seconds later just-in-case), we realize that the world is filled with (lots of) people just like us and situations just like ours, and the comfort we originally took solace in feels strangely overly-familiar. Enjoy!
