Being Thankful

There are some people who enter your life for a second, some people come for a week and some stay forever.

Whether they are there to bring a smile to your face or have made you cry, they have helped shaped who you are.

This is a time to be thankful to everyone. Even those people that have hurt you and walked away. Why? Because they've made you stronger.

With your first hurt, you cry for days, for your second hurt, it'll be hours and soon you'll be so strong that even if people come and go, you won't let it affect you.

So be thankful. Not only to the people that stayed, but to the people that left as well. Because by leaving, they've made you become a stronger person and have helped you see the world in a different way.

Wear it loud. Wear it proud. Everyone has scars that no one can see and yet we all know it. So it's ok.
Thank them.

I know I do.

Help them fight

Everyone has their own struggles. Whether it's something small or something much larger. It could be a fight between lovers, it could be cancer. It could be a common day occurrence or it could happen once in a blue moon.

It doesn't matter.

Everyone has their own struggles.

Without knowing what they're going through, one shouldn't comment. We haven't walked in their shoes no matter how similar it is, no two cases are the same.

However, within us is a fight-or-flight instinct. When struggles come our way, we can choose to give in or fight through it. When we fight through our struggles and come out triumphantly or even if we haven't, the fact that we tried is enough.

Giving up is for people who have fought so much that they don't have it in them to fight anymore. These are the people that need help. These are the people that need hope.

Hope to believe that they will come out on top. Hope to believe that they will survive their battles. Hope to believe that they will be happy.

So please, help them fight and give them hope.
