August 5, 2022: Nine words that changed my day

“Thinking of you and hoping that you’re doing well” Nine words. Nine words that changed my world today. Nine words is all it took to take a shitty day that got improved slightly during in group therapy to a better day. The day was still a struggle, but nine words gave me hope and strength to get through the day. Nine words from someone that didn’t have to show kindness. Nine words from someone that didn’t have to show they care and genuine think about not because they see me as a horrible person but because they see the good in me in a time when no one else seems to be able to. Knowing that someone genuine cares and goes beyond their required duties and sends a simple sentence that has a huge impact. Genuine feelings of caring and compassion for someone or people is an amazing thing, and this person may never know the impact they make or how truly amazing of a human being they are. They may or may not read my blog, but I pray they see this post because the trauma I have been through will never allow me to tell them face to face the impact they make on my life every single day. So to this person this is for you:

You are an amazing soul and an amazing person. You show compassion when no one else does. You show genuine care and can see the good in someone. You show compassion to people beyond what is required of you. You have truly made a huge impact on my life and your nine words today gave me happiness during a time where happiness is hard to come by. Your genuine worry and care that I am alive goes beyond words. It is truly because of your and your character that I am still alive today. So, thank you from the bottom of my heart for being a part of my life and truly letting me know whatever struggles come my way, you will be there to battle demons with me. Thank you from all the other people’s lives you have touched that don’t have the words or strength to tell you. May god bless you, because you are one of the most deserving people I know to receive amazing gifts in life.

They say talk saves lives, well from my experience caring and compassion save lives too. So be amazing even if those around you may judge you. Because you never know the true impact you may be making. My day and life were changed by nice simple words. Imagine what you too can do with only a few words.
