You, Me [Pt.3]

TW: Depression, mental health

We have collectively gone through something over the past few years that has had immeasurable impact on us all. It has shown us how interconnected we all are and how much we rely on each other in order to survive and thrive in our daily lives.

This #WorldkindnessDay join us in spreading compassion, kindness, and hope to all you meet, because we can never truly know the struggles others are masking on a daily basis. To those who are struggling with their mental health. Please know that you are not alone in this.

“A single act of kindness throws out roots in all directions, and the roots spring up and make new trees.” – Amelia Earhart
