My man Jack Johnson is yet again, leaving me dumbfounded by his peaceful words. Listening to his song Hope, this line hit me hard, "You don't always have to hold your head higher than your heart."

Everyone always tries to paint a perfect picture and mask their pain. STOP! If you're having a bad day, cry. If you're having a bad day, talk to someone. If someone asks how you are, tell them you're HORRIBLE. Don't hide from your real emotions.

And if someone's having a bad day, whether they say it or you can just tell, be there for them. Don't ask what you can do for them, but think of something you know they'll enjoy or something that will really help them, and JUST DO IT!
