It pays to be kind, educate ourselves and do not pass judgement on others. While many are able to wear their invisible scars/ life ( health) circumstances well, this is no excuse for lack of emotional intelligence from the onlooker. Do not assume you know what is best for the individual, you could severly hinder or set them back! Many are willing to receive the help and are having to patiently wait for the appropraite support systems of doctors, therapist, coaches and employement to build and maintain a life specifally curated to thier specific needs and way of living. This process is so slow and gruelling at times with the many many hickups from incorrect treatments, diagnois and interference from individuals who have or who are currently manipulating others circumstances! Tough pill to swallow right? Well then lets practice some self reflection: Have you intentionally inflicted or contributed to someones suffering, leading to lossing hope, substance abuse, trauma responses and even suicide, yeah that part! #enough #timetolisten #bekind #walkinlove #advocate #serve
