Some people don’t need advice… They need to be heard

I can relate a lot to Michael Beasley’s story. I’ve been laughed at for expressing myself before. There were times I felt like crying while playing ball. I didn’t know how to express what I was dealing with either. A lot of people are suffering in silence, wishing someone would notice what they’re carrying without them having to explain it. I will always remember that day in HS. I learned how to be vulnerable and express my emotions around people I trust, love, and care about and simply they just listening helped me to open up. One conversation. One safe moment. One person just listening. Can save more than you realize.
