A day in the life of @shrekandbarrybee...

...

Idk what to title this chapter but today is not a joke or funny story. Sorry for another serious chapter, I promise I'll write more funny ones next. I just wanted to write this to bring attention to something that doesn't get brought up often enough. I know not many people read my stories but I just want this to be out here. I saw the picture I posted above and it really inspired me to write this.

Ignoring. Leaving people out. Leaving people behind. Interrupting. It happens too much. And nobody says a thing. I see it happen every day. And it happens every day to me every single day. Sometimes while I walk behind my friends they talk and laugh and I'll ask "what are you guys talking about?" And everybody goes silent. I'll try to talk at my classroom tables and a new conversation comes up and anything I said will be completely forgotten. It even happens in my family, my sister noticed and she told me I had a curse or something with people talking over me. I'm not going to use this whole chapter to complain. But please, if you ever see this happen, say something to them. Don't call them out, but maybe respond to what they said. Maybe try to include them. Maybe just do something. Anything means a lot. It's happened all my life and it's rare for someone to reach out and try to talk to me or engage me in the conversation. But when it happens it makes me feel less alone. Please don't exclude people. One act of niceness means a lot. One day the same could happen to you. Please be considerate of everyone's feelings.
