Breathe Take a Step back

With everything that has happened in the past few years this is something we all need to do as a society. None of us are perfect and we are all human no matter what we look like, or society tries to portray us as. We are all one and the same, we all have different views and feelings. While some of us may agree and some of us will disagree with others’ views that does not make them wrong. That is what makes us beautiful is that we think for ourselves.

We need to relearn how to interact with each other, to once again be able to communicate without letting our emotions control us and lash out without thinking about what is being said or trying to understand the others view or opinion. It has become so easy to just sit back and type away on a keyboard and hit send without having to worry about how our words will affect those that are reading them. Or knowing what the other person is currently experiencing in their life currently or just recently experienced.

We need to stop thinking about how this makes me feel and start thinking about how this will make our lives better as a society or will this only make my selfish needs feel better for a fleeting moment until the next distraction comes to flare the emotional flames. So, before you send that email with passive aggressive undertones. That text makes the recipient feel unworthy or foolish for asking a simple question. Or joining in all the spiteful messages on social media, please just take a step back and breathe and think about how you would feel reading what you are about to send if it was sent to you.
