I often look at other people and ask myself what is going on in their heads right now. People can be so hard to read. The man you saw laughing on the train today could be going through a pretty tough time currently and the woman you talked to yesterday while waiting for the bus killed herself a few hours later. You maybe were the last person she talked to.
The world is so big. We are so small. There are so many of us, yet we are all different.
Today at the main station, I sat on a bench, waiting. A woman sat next to me. She was crying on the phone, talking to someone. In those few moments, I learned a lot about her life and I always heard how she talked about ending her life. As I left I gave her a little piece of paper saying Stay strong, you are wonderful! :) I wonder what she thought about that. It's a small gesture but if we are being honest - They sometimes make the biggest difference. I'd have loved to see her reaction or to know her thoughts. I know that I'll probably never see her again. Maybe she'll keep the message forever, maybe she threw it in the trash right after. Either way, I'll never know, but I will for sure often think about her and ask myself how she's currently doing.
