I don’t know about any of you guys, but when it comes to dealing with my fellow human beings, I try to be considerate and kind, give the benefit of the doubt, and put myself in their shoes, especially if they are not doing so great. Trust me, I’ve been burned before, but I truly do care, and admittedly, it interests me to see the psychology of it all.
Another thing I contemplate is WANTING others to walk in my shoes, even if for a moment. I want people to know my story, why I am the way I am, why I always say that I’m a work in progress, which I am, but we all have room for improvement. Perhaps my experiences can help others. Maybe it will inspire, motivate, laugh, and bring joy.
Everyone’s got a story. Everyone. We also deal with things differently. Our coping mechanisms differ. Our personalities differ. Our upbringing, etc. But a lot of people don’t think about it. I get it. You SHOULD focus on yourself always, but there are others out there living life just like you. Trying to survive.
I stumble, walk around in circles sometimes, but I know I’m not alone. All of us do. But empathy, consideration, compassion, and kindness for the next person…is what most lack. We need to be mindful. We should uplift and support one another and make the world a better place. Just look around. Let’s make it a world we all want to live in.
