Making A Difference
This world is in desperate need for a change. 350 million people of all ages are dealing with depression, 800,000 people have died of suicide every year, and approximately two million self-harm cases are reported annually. What has this world come to? We can't live with each other anymore, we can't live with ourselves. The people are ruthless, brutal, and cold-blooded. How can we change this dark and gloomy planet into a bright and cheerful place that people are happy to live in?
Just a smile or a "How is your day?" is all someone needs. If you look at someone and you feel they're hurting, do not be afraid to ask them if everything is okay. They most likely need someone there for them, and you could be that someone. They probably won't pour all their feelings out on you right then and there, it takes time for someone to open up and let go of the pain. Just be sure to check in with them once or twice a week so they know that you want to help.
Remember that the little things do count. Whether it be an encouraging smile or an accidental dirty look, it matters. It could change someone's day completely.
Help break the distress. Be the someone who can make a change. If we all pitch in as a team, imagine what we could do.

This is an interesting blog. I believe little things affect people's day in a big way. A misunderstanding between two people certainly wouldn't help. Someone could be very offended by the way we look at them from across the table but we could just be in deep thought. we didn't mean to make a face towards someone else, but we did. On the other hand, little compliments could really brighten someone's day. a simple compliment such as "your hair looks pretty today" or "your outfit looks nice today" could make a world of difference to a person. Every little thing you do or say to a person could be taken seriously, even if you didn't mean it. Be careful and always try to brighten someone's day, not dampen it.
