A face can say so much but cover so much more.
You think you know what’s happening.
Not caring about what you say.
That girl you choose to laugh at may seem ok but really she goes home to hell each day. Bet you didn’t think that through.
That guy you rolled your eyes at after seeing him with two trolleys filled with food.
Actually drops it off to help the homeless & those in need. Just to do a little good.
That elderly lady that struggled going through her spare pennies hearing nothing but tutting in the queue only fed her cat that night as there wasn’t enough for two.
I hope that makes things a bit more clearer for you.
Single mum coming out of the food bank, money is tight but she would never let her kids go without, she would thank you more if your judgement was silent & you took your nose out.
That person you pointed out in front of everyone because of their size is one of the many reasons they end up trying to hide themselves from the world & form a disguise. Just because society doesn’t see them as “perfection” in their eyes. Doesn’t mean they don’t have their own reasons or feelings or love exactly who they are. If you spent less time laughing & more time asking, that would be a start.
Just a few examples of what could actually be someone’s life.
Your negative comments?
The nasty things you say?
Have you ever asked yourself, Why?
What do you achieve from being that way?
We are all human.
We are all just trying to find our way.
How about we don’t add to others’ stresses & worries?
Think of happiness. Think love. Think of kindness.
A simple way to make their day.
Now, let that sink in for a minute or two.
Doesn’t that make even a little difference.
To me it sounds lovely!
DO ALL THAT I CAN
I’ve danced with my weaknesses.
Laughed hell in the face.
Count my blessings.
Realising there isn’t time to waste.
Fought through the flames.
Got the scars to show.
I could tell you a story or two
But I don’t think you’d really want to know.
Ignoring the haters because how would they know who I am?
Too busy to listen to them.
When there’s love & a life to live to the full.
I’m going to do all that I can.
