If you count the people who need a kind word, who seek somebody who listens to them, who might do with some sort of encouragement, you’ll get to a number that is very close to the number of people that exist in this world.
There’s a lot to do, and you can start today.
When something ends, all you want to hear is that you will be missed.
That it was great, that it’s a pity, that it’s not your fault, that memories are valuable, and that something better probably awaits you in the future.
It’s the feeling that what you did was not enough, combined with the feeling that you still have a lot to do, that will bring you down.
If you’re ending something, keep this in mind.

Where you make decisions while your colleague waits for your decisions to be made.

To put things back in perspective, we might need help. And perspective is always a dear friend.
Sometimes it’s just too much.
Sometimes even the idea of taking the next step is painful.

Sometimes breathing is harder than crying.
Sometimes the hole is deep and you can’t see but down.
Sometimes focus is impossible.
Sometimes that feeling in your guts, that thought in the back of your head, it’s the only feeling, the only thought.
Sometimes it’s like this.
Here’s to make it just “some” times.
