Kindness is like a building block; it can fall, but it can be rebuilt all over again. There are some mean people, but don’t let that take you down. There are a lot of annoying things out there, but learn to love yourself.
It’s like the quote: “Live love laugh.” Live to your heart’s desire, love other people and yourself, and laugh to fill the air and to make more and more friends.
People need to be happy sometimes, but they can also let their feelings out in a quiet place or talk it out with a counselor or your family (I suggest a counselor). It really helps to talk to someone even if it is embarrassing. It’s still ok to talk it out. Just saying it really helps.
I have had a hard time sharing what I feel and think so I went to my middle school counselor. She really helped me with a lot of things and she gave me some strategies to help me.
The amazing thing about kindness is that you can help people and they might help you in return. So my advice is to be kind and think of at least one way you can help a person like holding the door for someone or asking if they need help with something or seeing if they need help doing their homework if they are a middle schooler or a high schooler or even an elementary schooler. Just help people.
This is my message to you all: no matter what or when or where in the world just help a person, the kindness that fills up so many people will fill up inside of you. You will have a good day and then do it all over again.
