Everyone is fighting a silent battle, usually with themselves or other issues in their lives. It can be so hard to smile or be kind if you're fighting one yourself but really, that's the best thing to do. Always smile- from your heart, and spread love. You've no idea how much a smile can mean to someone who is going through a hard time. It's those little things that make a huge difference, and look at it this way... You may be angry, or hurting but not every single human being on this earth- or around you has hurt you, so why take it out on them? Why give them a dirty look or be cold, angry, and detached when all they wanted to do was spread love and be friendly, or simply have a nice day? If you know (or can imagine) what it feels like to be stressed, have something weighing on you, or feel hurt all the time and have a constant ache in your chest, stomach- or even whole body from sad or negative emotions, then you'll know or understand the value of kindness. It costs nothing but it really means the world, and sometimes, little acts like that are what can save somebody- or yourself. You can think "Hey, I'm hurting, but at least I can make sure I won't make anyone else feel how I'm feeling right now and that's something". When one is hurting, emotions cloud rationality and judgement and the smallest thing could set them off into depression or worse, so do yourself and humanity a favour and be kind, just... because.

And if you feel any kind of love or anything for another person, you should totally spread it and let them know- friendship or romantic keeping love back or hiding you love from someone is probably one of the most painful things you could ever do to another human being because love is everything. Love is what we crave most in the world, without it we feel empty and when you hold it in, that feels pretty shitty too. Be, give, do everything in love, for love of the earth and its people. It's not hard at all to spread love or tell someone you love them and someone would never be mean, horrible or judge you badly for telling them how you feel so you should never be shy about such things.

Don't deny the natural order of things, fate and the universe brings people together that awaken certain feelings for a reason. :-)

I love you lots,
