thank you

Bunny needs hugs.

;O; daaawww *applies hug *

Sometimes, you need someone who is listening. ^w^

This hit hard right now.. especially with recent news of a good friend going through an extremely rough time. He knows we're all here for him if he needs us, but that's all we can do... just be there for him.

Thank you for this wonderful image and message <3

I had a history teacher talk about the moment we became a civilization. Students talked about the wheel or the discovery of fire, but then the teacher brought up a picture of an ancient skeleton and pointed to a leg bone that had broken then mended.

In the wild a broken leg is a death sentence, you can't run from predators or find food or water. Which means someone took care of this person till they could walk again. The moment we can recognize another person's struggle and offer them help is the moment we became a civilization.

at times that's the only thing some people can do, besides staying with the person to show company.

This is a real, valuble lesson but it's also a hard one to learn. We are trained mentally to try and help and when someone who is struggling rejects that offer it can be strange and (sadly) sometimes people get annoyed at the person for refusing. I think one thing that makes it hard is that you can't really "see" the effect that just offering has on them.

I needed to see something like this. Thank you for helping me emotionally

Super cute and allot of hugs from me.

Looking at the comments, even this drawing seems to make a world of difference.

Yeah, hitting real close to home right now. And this is the time of year my usual emotional support bear basically doesn't exist so it's been extremely difficult.

Being one who listens was the main reason my classmates stopped bullying me in highschool. They noticed if they have problems none of their "friends" did but the one they bothered all day long was still there to listen. It helped a lot to know people sometimes come to a conclusion at times. Even if it takes years.

*hugs tight!*

Beautiful scene

A simple kindness can make a world of difference for somebody else. We should all aspire to think this way.

Well now this is ultra relatable. <3

Thank you for such a simple but beautifully put message, hun. I wish more people understood this. Even if the person says no to the help, that isn’t cause to just then leave them be and not talk to them. I lost my Mom in August and my family don’t even ask if they can help, just tell me what I need to do now to move on in life.

I truly wish more people would just offer and care about other people like this.

This is a great message! Just asking if you can help can do alot to help someone...it lets them know they aren't alone and don't have to go through their struggle alone.

This is really such an important message; but it is also important to note one thing as well; be aware the difference between lending a hand and/or ear, and having someone constantly abusing your support, also be aware of ones own limitations and dont believe you can mend everyone's wounds

It may sound obvious to some, but I was like that years ago, and that alone had nearly ruined my Empathy because it was so hard to care for others when they ask the world of you when you literally cannot do anything, it eats away at your kindness and can leave you embittered for the rest of your life, infact I'd say it's what leads to the many people who suddenly decide to stop caring...

As of now I still do my best to care for the friends I have, but often times I struggle to offer support both in due to my empathy not being what it's used too and that I fear dealing with people who want me to fix the world, if that is a bit of a selfish thought, I do apologize, I just wish to let others know what I learned from my own mistakes in hopes they dont repeat them themselves

Well said.

I wholeheartedly agree! Everyone needs to vent from time to time, and being there for them even just to listen and give a bit of comfort is very important <3

Even the simplest of things can help make someone feel at least a lil better!

You always portray this serious stuff so well. Thank you.
