Pretending to care, because it's trending to care!
We’re in the middle of a pandemic, but instead of having a sense of empathy and kindness, we’re becoming more impatient and intolerant. We see people on social media fighting battles against anxiety, depression, and other mental illnesses, we support them online, we post stories and add hashtags so people feel better. We reassure our friends to ask for help when needed, we become better with our words but what happens when it comes to life offline, the real-life with real people? In real life, we’re still people who judge, who assume circumstances and situations instead of considering the actual wars people are fighting. We’re still people who put our convenience over anything, and sometimes we do it without realizing it. The world needs care, now more than ever. We need reassurance and validation from our loved ones, that everything will be alright and that they will have patience with us until then.
