maybe they’re not GIVING you a hard time. maybe they’re HAVING a hard time.

The next time someone gives you a hard time, consider the possibility that it has NOTHING to do with you. Consider the possibility that they are dealing with something you know nothing about.

Think of something you’ve struggled with and lived through that not many people know about.

(The “What doesn’t kill you makes you stronger” kind of lived through.)

Now, realize OTHER people – people you meet today and people you’ve known for years – have lived through things you don’t know about.

And cut them some slack.

Give them some grace.

because We’re all #JustADifferentKindOfBroken
