we all carry within us a story that is aching to be told. as maya angelou said "there is no greater agony that bearing an untold story inside you." and it's so true. each of us carry hurt, pain, memories, heartache, loss... we don't know what someone may be going through each day. you may be going through a rough time yourself, but don't forget to extend kindness to others. even when you don't feel like it. think of other's needs before yourself. life is too short not to smile at the stranger at the bus stop. who cares if they give you a weird look. because we all need love, joy, and hope. be kind to others. and be kind to yourself.
