You don’t know anything at all

---

“You look weird”, “you look tired” and “you sleepwalking”

Words we hear from people noticing us

Instead of,

“Is something wrong?”, “You must have been working hard” and “you can rest now” were what we actually wanted to hear. A small thing, right? But it's really comforting to hear such words.

Maybe this update could make you think sad things. But this blog post is somehow another “We all experience that” scenario. But hold up, I don’t want you to feel terrible by reading this.

I just write it as a reminder to please be gentle and kind, we may take chances and come pass by someone who doesn’t feel any better that day or someone who takes his feelings stuck inside for so long without us knowing what they actually feel. We can be at least in the right mind to be considerate and it won’t hurt us at all.

Backstory, I just randomly thought about this last time while I was doing something and wondered “How many times in someone’s life did he/she see people’s smiles?” and I didn’t know but it brought me to write this blog “maybe more than 10?” and another minute this thought pops “How about, how many times in their life did someone see people cry?” and I don’t have any guesses. I don’t know if someone thought of this and we have the same question in mind. But at that moment, it just feels like I need to turn this into a blog update. Maybe we haven’t seen so many people cry or at least you are not on time to catch someone’s tears falling down. But people are good at hiding even their pain, they can cry and hide without clues. Which makes nowadays hard to see who’s actually having a hard time. People can be silent about their pain and endure it as much as they can and it takes so much intuition and feelings to be actually empathetic toward someone dealing with something they don’t talk about.

At this point, where I got to know people and I’m still mesmerized each time I encounter them, who actually are good at knowing somebody’s feelings. These people are for keeps in life. They are the people who are worth the space they take in our life, and they are to be thanked for even if the world is not good to them either, they still manage to be kind to us.

On the other hand, I feel terrible for those people who remain kind despite all and still don’t get the kindness they deserve. Maybe their time will come or maybe for now it’ll serve as an eyeopener for them to see who is really good to their nervous system just joking to know who is really down for them and good in their life.

Don't abuse a kind heart. You may never be offered one again. Unknown author
