How little acts of kindness can really change someone’s day
You never know what other people are going through. It costs nothing to be kind to others and it could truly change the trajectory in someones day.
When someone is kind to you, you pass it on. It’s a beautiful chain reaction that touches so many people.
In a world where empathy seems to be lacking (or at least that’s what it seems like on social media), be kind. Be that change.
