“Everything we say and do affects people.
It can be either physically or mentally.
Words can cut deeper than a knife,
and we all know that.
We could have experienced it in our lives at least one.
It isn't easy, dealing with those type of situation.
It isn't easy, trying to heal those wounds.
But we make it out of it alive, because we always have these amazing people that are always there for us.
An act of kindness and support,
is just that powerful.
*******************************************************************************
Don't pull away from the rest of the world.
For those of you that are out there,
with no friends,
with no one to support you,
those who are being neglected.
You are never alone.
Somewhere on this Earth,
there is ALWAYS someone who is there for you.
There is always someone that cares about you and feels your pain.
There is always someone that will understand your story.
Don't be afraid to come out of your shell.
Don't be afraid to interact with people.
Don't be afraid to be who you are.

Dare to dream,
Explore,
and Love. <3

The outcomes are worth it.”
Hina Yu

“One thing you will learn with experience of dealing with politicians, is not to be surprised at anything.”
