This tweet will probably fly past your head. But it's one I need to make. Read if you want to.

We're all responsible for the world we live in. We all have our own stories in life. Everyone reading this right now, our "life stories" have intercepted. We're in each other's paths.

We all want a better future for ourselves. But why do we choose to destroy each other? Why do we want to inflict damage to someone else, whether it's mentally or physically? But when we feel pain, it's the worst feeling ever. But we still cause pain for others.
We are confusing.

When you get on with your day, you may be passing by so many people and interacting with a lot of them. But you don't expect one of them to open up your mind. Imagine being happy today. You've got everything you wanted going for you. Excited about a future yet to be shaped.

But then you hear about someone who isn't doing well, who's feeling pain and is in a bad spot to the point where they don't think they have anything to live for. They want to hurt themselves. But in the eyes of others, they seem happy. They seem to make everyone smile.

Imagine hearing that person that causes happiness for others has attempted to take their own life. You hear about it a lot. As someone who tries to interact with everyone on Twitter, I feel a personal connection with you. Even if we've never spoke. I see your profile. I see you.

But when you see the person who attempted to take their own life, is someone who follows you. And you click the DM button, and it's someone you haven't interacted with. But you see they've attempted to reach you and evidently wanted someone to talk to. It's haunting.

Things happen beyond our control. But are we doing enough? I don't feel like I am.

We aren't doing enough. Why don't you check on your family? Your friends? How are they doing mentally? Why are you creating damaging barriers by being afraid to talk about feelings to someone?

Our life stories have intercepted. We have a responsibility to check on our friends and families. And they have a responsibility of checking on theirs. And this cycle has to continue. Don't be the one person who breaks it. It'll have a domino effect.

Be open. Be cautious. Be loving. Show others the love you would want to feel. Why do we want to do something when it's too late? It's because we're letting our fear of judgement outweigh our truths. I've tweeted this quote before. And it's one I think you should read.

It's by someone who spoke about this topic heavily in the form of art. Here is a quote by @xxxtentacion:

"I advise you to not hide your feelings. Don't pretend to be okay when you're not okay. Don't pretend to be happy, when you're sad. It'll only lead to your misery".

I kept this as engaging as I can. Because I want you to read this final tweet. Because if you've read this whole thread, it's because you can relate to it. You're not alone. You shouldn't be afraid to speak to someone. Please do. Personally, I know how much it helps.

If you don't want to talk to someone within your circle (a family or friend) because you're afraid of being judged. Talk to a stranger. Message someone completely random on Twitter and just ask them how they're doing. Tell them how you're doing. And open up.
Don't bottle it in.

You may feel alone. But if so many people are feeling alone, they're not feeling that feeling alone.
So reach out. Please.

This thread may not make any sense to you. But it may impact just one person. And that's enough for me.

How are you today?
