An affirmation

I will understand and I will be kind. I will be patient. I will forgive. When others speak to me I will listen. All anyone really wants is to feel understood, for someone to make them feel like they are making the right decision or, to feel like they matter. I imagine strangers as myself, just trying to, make a connection, to be heard. Deep down people really are good, they just want to be loved or, really just liked. It's sad to think of all the bitter or heartbroken or lonely people out there who just want to have someone to say goodnight to. Underneath it all none of us know what we're doing, we're all a little lost, a little unsure. Just drifting through space together with no clue where we're going. We should all be more kind, more understanding. We should love each other. Love how we swing our arms when we walk, or how we laugh when we're uncomfortable. None of us is that different from the other. Be genuine, be tender, be caring. Love more. Love one another.
