i'll never forget the people who made things harder for me when i was already struggling. i still think about how someone can see you hurting and still choose to hurt you more. some people don't realize how heavy their words and actions can feel to someone already carrying so much inside. maybe they don't mean it, or maybe they are too focused on their own pain to notice yours. but the hurt still stays. that's why we should always choose kindness and gentleness. because you never really know what someone is going through behind closed doors. sometimes, a little understanding can mean everything to a person who is already trying their best not to fall apart anymore.
