Be Kind
Had one of those days, weeks even, where I feel just a bit overwhelmed with life. I feel like people need to be reminded that we're human- all of us- we all feel things, most of those feeling being very similar, our brains have just convinced us that these feelings are only felt by ourselves and no one must understand- so we all retreat into our bubbles and don't allow ourselves to truly connect to anything or anyone.
Empathy - the thing that allows us to connect with other people. I think I've spent my whole life and will carry on spending my whole life empathising with every single thing/person/situation that I can. It really does take all of 5 seconds to put yourself in someone else's shoes- when you realise behind everything that every single person is the same- even that person you hate because they've slept with your boyfriend- even a person that's committed a crime- you do not have to condone what they've done but deep down we can all relate to feelings. Life nowadays has supressed everyone into becoming so numb- what is so terrible about feeling things? Once you let go of all the hate, anger and sadness that the world injects into everybody, everyday, you will begin to realise that you're unable to be deliberately hurtful towards other people- and that the depth and feeling of love/care even for strangers that you've met 30 seconds ago, actually goes such a long way. Once you care about things the world changes, you become more gentle, even with the people that can be cruel- you accept that they are the way they are because of the deep unhappiness within them- and you hope one day they can be happy inside and out. You forgive the people that have maybe not been so nice in the past but are trying to become a better person in the present moment.
Life is too short to feel anything but love. Be gentle with people, be gentle with yourself- reach out to people even if you think they don't want to speak to you- understand that life can sometime just be that way and do not let the world poison you. It's one of the most amazing gifts to be apart of something where we all get to feel things and relate to each other :)
