Be the person who cares.
Be the person who makes the effort,
the person who loves without hesitation.
Be the person who bares it all,
the person who never shies away
from the depth of their feeling,
or the intensity of their hope.
Be the person who believes ―
in the softness of the world,
in the goodness of other people,
in the beauty of being open and
untethered and trusting.
Be the person who takes the chance,
who refuses to hide.
Be the person who makes people feel seen,
the person who shows up.
Trust me when I say ―
be the person who cares.
Because the world doesn't need
any more carelessness,
any more disregard;
because there is nothing stronger
than someone who continues
to stay soft in a world
that hasn't always been kind to them.
― Bianca Sparacino
