소리지르지 말고 박수쳐!

she was called sulli, but her name was choi jinri. i admired and loved her. in a society where so many stigmas existed, she fearlessly continued to talk openly about things.

she held on as long as she could and for that i am proud of her.

but the topic of this post isn’t about her. it’s about the importance of kindness and the importance of listening.

it’s important to know and remember that we are all human capable of getting hurt. our sensitivities are all different. the amount of hurt we can take in before breaking is all different. why do we have to break each other down? our freedom comes with responsibility. know that what we do always has consequences (negative and/or positive). each of us are going through something and it’s never okay to invalidate someone’s problem. just be kind. think before you speak. i dont know if i’m making any sense but i hoe you’re getting the gist of it.

please, take the time to listen to your friends. from my own experience, it’s quite hard to open up. so if someone chooses to open up to you, give them your full attention. let them feel heard. let them know that they’re not alone. it is so important to let people know that there’s someone in their life that cares for them. if you can’t be your friend’s confidant, help guide them into seeking professional help.

as someone with depression, it means the world when a friend hits me up to check up on me. it makes me feel like i’m not less.

i’ve probably already swerved from the topic, but imagine how much better our lives would be if everyone showed a bit of kindness to each other everyday.

i guess what i’m trying to say is, try not to be a douche, listen to people when they talk to you.
