People

I've been so busy with everything going on. These last few days have been quite full. I've really wanted to write, but I just haven't had the time. Which is why I'm trying to write something, anything, in this time I have after my French test.

Sometimes the best friends we have are the ones we don't realize are there for us. I have a friend who I've always loved joking around and having fun with. But today he took the time to let me know that he was there to listen if I ever needed someone to talk to. This isn't the first time it's happened to me. I've had a decent amount of people try to reach out to me as they've noticed the depression (even if they don't know what they're noticing). It always means a lot to me. The thing is, it makes me question how much people know about those who they are around. There are people who you interact with every single day who care about you, even if you don't really feel as though you're friends. People feel alone, but they are surrounded by people who care about them, regardless of the status of their relationships. I've worked hard the last few years to try to help those around me see that I care about them, even if we may not be close. I don't want anyone to feel alone in this world, because it is a terrible thing to feel. So the next time you are hurting, look at the people around you and think about how they probably care about you, even if it may not seem like they "should."
