Today is World Kindness Day and an important reminder to be kind to both those around us and to ourselves (because we too often forget to be kind to ourselves too). Since it’s World Kindness Day, I wanted to share a short post on how the kindness of strangers changed my life.
When I first started blogging, I was in a pretty bad place with my mental health. I felt suffocated, lost and muted. Like most people in their late teens, there was so much happening in my life and I was much too young to always make the right decisions. I started blogging because I’ve always loved writing and someone I was friends with at the time suggested blogging on WordPress. I did that, expecting nothing from it really. But what I found instead was a community where I could finally be myself. Where I could share the content I loved creating, make genuine connections and get more support than I could have ever imagined.
So many people on this platform, essentially strangers, went out of their way to be kind to me. And it saved my life. Not metaphorically, literally. My books, my work, my safe happy place- all that exists because of kindness.
So remember to be kind because a small act of kindness could make a huge impact on another persons life. And to everyone here that supported me and continue to support me, thank you from the bottom of my heart.
Let me know what your plans are for the next two months and what you’ll be up to.
I recently published my first book and would be honoured if you took a minute to check it out here.
