About Sonderland

You are the star of your own show, you write your own story, you conquer your own struggles. You, yes you! And you, and the person next to you. We often forget that while we are creating our own stories, the people passing us by are too. One word changed my entire perspective on life. If you know this word, I hope you practice it, and if you don’t, I’m honored to introduce you to it.Sonder, the realization that each and every person has a unique and complex life, just like yours. No NPCs, side characters, or extras, people with real lives, real feelings, real stories. I’ve created a space to be able to meet new people, learn more about the ones I already know, share a few laughs and tears, and maybe make a few new friends along the way. The word “sonder” is, as Ted Mosby once said, “hauntingly beautiful.” I aim to bring the beauty of everyone’s stories to light. Maybe that way they don’t have to be haunting, but rather - enlightening, inspiring, or even comforting. Despite everyone’s individuality, bringing together everyone’s stories creates the library of human community, join me as I check these stories out. This is Sonderland.

   Honesty with Richard

   Welcome back to Sonderland. I am your host, Luis Carrillo; and today’s episode is not part of a bigger chapter as normal; it is not part of a revival of Sonderland; it is a standalone episode, a conversation that I, in my heart of hearts, believe needed to be held. I am not a political activist, nor do I care much for politics; but just because Charlie Kirk was a political activist, does not make this exclusively a political assassination. This was an attack on freedom, the freedom to express...

   Chapter 6 Update

   Thank you all for your patience, I hope this brings some clarity to Sonderland, as of late.

   Influence Finale

   Welcome to Sonderland Chapter 5: Episode 4 The Finale India and I sit down in today's very special and very different episode to just lay all the rawness and future plans on the table. As you'll hear very early on in the episode, at the time of recording, I was/am going through a tough time in my life and my faith, and India just let me take this time to vent all about the weariness I've been experiencing. You all get to hear India share her beautiful testimony, which is something I prayed for since coming to Christ Jesus, praise the Lord! Oh yeah, and we talk about influence and such, but what you won't want to miss is the end where we talk about chapter 6, as we head into our one year mark, and what to expect for year two... Without further ado, please sit back, relax, and enjoy the Chapter 5 Finale!
