I know we all have our struggles

and I honestly have no idea why this suddenly popped into my head but I need to let it out.....
Sometimes we run across people who are facing extremely serious issues and we never know it until they're gone because they put on a brave front and a happy face. So if anybody like that is reading this, just know that you are loved. I love you.

That is truly special. Most people don't ask in my life how I am or inquire much..I've put on a happy face ALWAYS for everyone , but it is exhausting. I appreciate your words Tumble🫂

*Indeed people, because someone isn't talking about their problems and keep a joyous outlook, don't assume they don't know pain.*

I have had a few times people comparing themselves to me, telling me about how worst they have had it and refusing my pain.
I may be writing so much here but in my reality I seldomly speak about my pains.
I have had friends refusing to listen and only wanting to talk about themselves, as I have been constantly putting myself aside to listen and prioritise another for years.
Especially with my family, I'm the only one who never talks. I want when I speak to be given the time to be heard and I've been refused it,
I'm trying to remember what has truly happened, but I feel as if I have been refused to be heard for a very long time...

@Tumbleweed yes... It's a good post 🙏🏼 to raise awareness, sometimes we can forget...
Tumbleweed · F
@being Thank you love! It just popped in my head when a few of us were just laughing at random stuff. So maybe somebody really needs to know it :)

Very kind words. I have my struggles right now, I try to measure them by I still have a home, I have the promise I can give to those I love for at least some time. Lost my job a month and half ago from the company closing where I worked. We had lots of warning, over a year, but sometimes you have to play roulette, should I stay or should I go? A half year of severance pay, and staying until the bitter end played a lot within. It's not turned out the way I thought, but I won't detail as its small amounts that will even out in a year (tax) but introduced you want to make me struggle more?

And I know that is small struggles, as when I go out for a walk or bicycling, I see people homeless with their tents pitched. A community complaining about the pitched tents within the downtown. Yet all social services are located downtown, so those homeless have chosen where help is closest for them

I don't think people realise how fragile life can be at times, or they forget. Now I'm feeling a wealth of sadness, I often deal with depression, and empathetic at times to a point I know can hurt me, I look upon those homeless wondering if that is me?

The world needs more than a helping of love and compassion right now, and those who give this way are seen by me and a gift beyond words.

That’s nice, this is the one place I don’t put a brave face on and can talk about how hard things are. In the real world however it’s a very different story
Tumbleweed · F
@SW-User I definitely understand that
DareToSayIT · 31-35, M
And people around them don’t even acknowledge or appreciate that.
Tumbleweed · F
@DareToSayIT I totally agree. People are so quick to judge, they don't even take the time to listen to somebody's else's story. Sad.
DareToSayIT · 31-35, M
@Tumbleweed even the family members are so oblivious and caught up in what you can do for them. People rarely care about others unless it benefits them. I guess it takes some level of emotional intelligence to really be in the person’s shoes and know what they been going through.
Tumbleweed · F
@DareToSayIT and the worst part of all is that it's easy to feel empathy and to pick up on vibes that maybe all this person needs is someone to simply listen...

Thanks for recognizing this but the love isn't felt.

Saying it doesnt make it true.
Tumbleweed · F
@SW-User feeling it in my heart does make it true.
