A Kind Word

Can Make All The Difference

By Ruth Elizabeth StiffPublished 2 years ago • 1 min read
People don't fake depression

“People don’t fake depression.

They fake being okay.

Remember that.

Be Kind”

We are All

such good ‘actors’ and ‘actresses’

that we hide behind the mask

of “everything’s OK”

and no one really knows

what we are feeling or thinking.

We appreciate that person

who goes that extra mile

to just sit down and listen to us.

They are showing that

they Respect us.

Depression affects the mind

and a person becomes depressed

after going through a ‘difficult time’,

and sometimes

all he or she needs

is to just ‘talk it out’

to clear their mind.

And like we appreciate that help

and Respect ourselves,

so would he or she.

“Be Kind”.

Other words for Kindness or Kind are:

Compassionate,

Mild,

Tender.

Sometimes that is all a person needs

— a kind word —

to make them feel a little better.

LIVE AND LOVE LIFE!
