When you pass the same stranger on the street multiple times or catch someone's eye at a stoplight, do you ever stop to wonder who they are? Who they really are. Not just where they live or where they're going, but what their biggest mistake was in life? Or their hardest challenge to overcome? Or maybe the one experience that changed everything for them?
