You Just Never Know

You just never know if:

• Someone has just been diagnosed and is thinking about all they have to lose.
• Their lover just texted them to say, “It’s over”.
• He wakes up every day thinking he’s about to fail, fearing that everyone else in the world knows something that he doesn’t.

You just never know if:

• She’s in the middle of a divorce and is about to go on stage.
• Before he was your driver, or your waiter, he was a doctor in his homeland.
• Their spirit was fractured as a child by unspeakable things.
• She is frightened.. All the time.
• He resists life itself.. All the time.
• They are frail from lack of love.

You just never know if:

• They’re faking loving the heart-hollowed life they fought so hard to make.
• Chemicals are coursing through them in destabilizing ways.
• She hasn’t slept through the night in months and months.
• They’ve experienced a loss that will leave a gaping wound for the rest of this incarnation.
• Today is especially hard and they’re doing their best, while they wish for just a little more than what they’ve got.

You just never know.

Suspend judgement.

There is a story behind every person you meet.

Avoiding conclusions..

Can be a monumental act of love.
