I have realised through some of the darkest times that people seldom know what to say to you. So they blabber. Say something that’s potentially offending. But they don’t mean harm. And somewhere they sometimes want to help. It’s dysfunctional. I think it’s okay to let it go.

I think sometimes we need to give people a benefit of doubt. And remember that maybe they are loss for words because no one told them that’s wrong. To shame them for it - why?

My mother until sometime ago didn’t know that you shouldn’t ask a person what stage of cancer it is? And I had to tell her mum that’s not right to ask and she was like oh, I never thought of it that way.

We can’t always be right, but we can learn every time.

I was angry with all those suggestions and things that came during my break up. I was mad. But now I think people were as lost as I was and they said the easiest thing they know.

Kindness is not always returned, it is sometimes simply given
