dear tumblr,
we hear it all the time. “do unto others what you would want to have them do to you.” have you ever realized that this isn’t so much about helping other people, but helping yourself? we, as people, and especially as teenagers, are social creatures. it’s impossible to live a happy life while being negative and hateful all the time to people around us. sure, it feels good when others help us or notice us, but when we are motivated to do something truly helpful, or caring, stop and think about it. if it’s done for the right reasons, the good side of us will make you feel good and happy.
i know most everyone aren’t bad people, by the world’s standards. so i challenge you, be nice to someone that you don’t usually hang around with, or someone that people aren’t nice to generally. maybe just say hi every once in a while. maybe don’t make fun of them if you do normally. be creative! this is your life, live it well.
my two cents
