Скачать или смотреть The Story Behind ‘Sonder’ — John Koenig’s Most Iconic Word ✍️🌀

What if that random stranger walking by…
had a story just as vivid and complicated as yours?

That’s the feeling John Koenig tried to put into words — and he did.
He called it “sonder.” 🌍

It’s the idea that we’re all the main character in our own lives…
but at the same time, we’re just extras in someone else’s. 🎭
And once he published it, everything changed.

People started reaching out, saying:
“Thank you for giving this feeling a name.”
Because sometimes, just having the word
makes us feel a little less alone. 🕊️

Soon, John started seeing sonder everywhere —
in online posts, in passing conversations,
like it had always existed.

A word he made up…
now had a life of its own. ✨
