At any given moment, 10% of people are experiencing something that shapes their daily lives in ways others may never fully understand. A tenth of the population wakes up to the sound of a cat purring, while another tenth rises in the night for a long shift at work. Some are swiping through online dating profiles, searching for connection, while others are navigating life as single parents.

For 10% of people, chronic pain is a constant companion. Another 10% rely on public transportation, moving through the city in shared silence. Some are left-handed, adjusting to a world designed for the majority. Some are LGBTQ+, living their truth in a society still learning to embrace them fully.

Each of these 10% groups represents a thread in the fabric of humanity—small in number, yet vital to the whole. Though any single experience may not define the majority, it matters deeply to the lives within it. And when we step back, we see that everyone belongs to some 10%—making every story worth knowing, and every person worth understanding.
