Alienated. Alone. Isolated. Not fitting in. These are feelings that so many people around us are feeling. I have struggled with this for so long myself. It breaks my heart to see people I love go through this. It never ceases to amaze me how the people that struggle with this the most are usually the ones that look like they have it all together. It is the ones that have all the friends around them. Then ones that are involved in almost everything. It seems to me that the more people you have around you the less people actually stop to care for you. Everyone just assumes that someone else is taking care of you that they don't stop to do it themselves.
We need to be there for the people around us. Everyone needs to feel like they have a place they fit. A place that they know they are loved and cared for, a place they feel safe. We were created to need a community. We need a family of people supporting us. It is really hard to find that place sometimes. Don't assume someone else is going to reach out. Sometimes all it takes is someone willing to reach out. Why not be that person?
