A gentle reminder.
Be the person who cares.
Be the person who cares.
There are so many things to be in this world. You can be good, bad, sad, happy. You can be small, and you can be larger than life. You can be the person who works hard, the person who coasts, or the person who seems to do everything with ease.
You can be the person who loves others. You can be someone who chooses to hate. You can be someone who leads with love or someone who hides behind lies and someone who ignites flames of fear.
There are so many things you can be — but I hope you’re always the person who cares.
Be that person.
Be that person.
Be the person who shows up for the ones that they love. Care about what’s going on in the lives of your people — show them how much you care. Celebrate them on their birthday.
Cheer them on their successes, both big and small. Hug them and listen to them in their darkest moments. Hold their hand if they need help finding their way out of the darkness and into the light. Listen to them, even when you cannot fully comprehend their pain.
Show up for your people — on and off of your screen.
Be the person who cares.
Be the person who cares.
Be the person who turns on the news and gets overwhelmed — do not desensitize yourself to the things that do not hit your personal orbit. Let yourself feel those feelings of pain and discomfort.
Don’t try and push the ache aside. Let yourself be concerned about the people or places that you have never met nor been — but are still hurting, anyway.
Empathize.
Think about what that person in pain is feeling — place your own heart in their shoes. Feel their anguish, their terror, their fear, their grief. Imagine what they are going through — and find a way to let them know that you care.

You shouldn’t have to experience something personally to be able to call it out by name — to say that something is horrible, or wrong, or injustice or a tragedy.
That shouldn’t be how we, as humans, operate.

There a million things you can be in this world — but I hope you’re always the person who cares.
