We’re put on this earth to be connected to each other.

Be kind to strangers. Make eye contact with people. Say hello to people. Engage with them.

Our actions tend to have a ripple effect. Even a small act of kindness might mean more to someone than you can possibly even imagine.

We have a need to know that we’re connected to each other and that people see us, and that we’re being heard. That’s particularly important for people who are marginalized, who often spend their days being ignored.

We all encounter struggles—it’s part of the human condition. The thing about those struggles is they don’t necessarily show on the outside.
