Seeing... No... SEEING

Location

Can you see it? No... can you SEE it?
The girl who pushes others away because she was pushed away.
The boy who acts tough in order to keep his family safe.
The women that's drunk under the bushes but is actually crying her eyes out because her husband is cheating on her.
The man who was abandoned because he came back different from war.
The grandparent that turned nasty and mean because they were never loved by their children or grandchildren.
The loner that killed themselves because no one cared.
The anorexic who lost the chance of being a cheerleader because she passed out from lack of energy.
The lover that was too shy to speak and ended up losing the love of his life.
The assumer that never learned the truth because they refused to accept reality.
The introvert that never expressed her ideas because of fear.
Do you SEE it now?
The first step is SEEING the problem.
Then taking action...
To not letting the girl push you away.
To become that boys support and strength.
To encourage the women to keep moving forward.
To be patient with the man that changed from war.
To love that grandparent that never knew what love was.
To be a friend to the loner.
To help the anorexic to become healthier.
To open up the assumes eyes and have them realize that they are completely wrong.
To nudge the introvert to express her ideas because her ideas are magnificent and thoughtful.
All it takes is SEEING and Taking Action.
Will you join me to prevent problems from sticking?
