14.Things we don't do but should've

There are a lot of things in life that we just walk by when we should’ve done something about it. Maybe there was someone you didn’t know who was crying, and you walked by them because you didn’t know them. What you should’ve done was go up to them, put your hand on their shoulder and ask them if they’re okay, even if you don’t know their situation. Have you ever done that? I know I have. I’m trying to get better at that. Though I just get so nervous going up to people I don’t know to be there for them, but one day, I did go past my comfort zone, and asked someone if they were okay. Now, we are friends. But there’s so much in life that our conscience tells us to do, but we don’t because it’s out of our comfort zone. But it feels so much better when you can do the slightest thing for someone. Why be scared? I really had to ask myself that after every moment like that I’ve passed up when I could’ve been there for somebody. But I’m always in training with myself.
