My eyes were opened a little wider today while I was hanging out with a friend. We were sitting on a swing set having a good chat when they mentioned that being asked how their day was ment alot to them. This was because no one ever asked them... Not their friends, or their family. They found that only one or two people in their life asked these questions and genuinely cared about the answer. Most people only care about what they are gaining from the friendship.
It was sad to hear this from such a happy person, someone who cares for everyone and has such a good heart. It's true that these are the people who are taken for granted. The people who care for everyone often get forgotten about, but in reality they also need (and deserve) the same treatment. If more people genuinely cared for each other in a selfless manner, the world would be a better place. I guarantee it would be the cure for so many depression cases.
Something as simple as saying "hey, how was your day?" and taking interest in others can mean alot more to someone then you think.
