“Sonder” is an important concept for writers. A fiction character might have this epiphany and change their entire outlook on life. Then something else happens and the concept gets lost in the immediacies. Okay, I’ll quite writing now 🙂

My take with this has been that people tend to be too engrossed with their own lives, and experiencing sonder puts the world into proper perspective.
On an aside, although I love the sonder concept, I think it’s one heck of an unwieldy word to actually use in writing, hence, a writing prompt! 🙂
