Everyone needs treatment, physically and mentally. We just don't know because we are afraid to ask or we don't have time to spend. It's sad but all of us are busy with our own personal worries. No one can blame us but it's just that sometimes, we then ignore it. We thought that it is now okay to leave them be. Although there is no one to condemn because if no one tells us we will never know. It's just that it's hard to start a conversation when both of you don't know where to start.

It's not wrong to mind other people's business depending on the intention. If you are sure that your intention is good don't hesitate to approach someone or to be with someone. Even though sometimes we are being rejected or even misunderstood. I know it's a little bit embarrassing if this happens. We are hoping to help but then being seen in a bad way. We instead doubted our intention to help someone to avoid those judgemental eyes. I know some people think that way and might be one of the reasons why people waver to comfort someone.

As human beings, we are fragile. We are vulnerable to pain and fear that turns into a serious illness. Many people struggle with it, some managed to survive but some never did. Just imagine when it feels like someone whispering in your ears while being alone. How can you resist temptations when you'd think you have enough and give up the happiness that life offers? You don't know what to do because you are alone and have no one to share what is the right thing to do. It seems useless by thinking about all those worries and unsolved problems that are so heavy to bear. Obviously, not all can withstand those, and their answers are surrendered.

There were those times when I was really afraid, not knowing what I should be afraid of. It's just that kind of feeling that makes me despair. I kept seeking happiness but had none to find despite the hardest times I did it alone. I thought I could find answers and solutions to all those questions and doubts in my head. I had come to the point that I gave up and decided to let it be. Isolated myself more and hurt myself from loneliness more because I thought it would still be the same.

I spent most of my time alone. One time I was at the shore sitting alone, just nothing, I wanted to stay there. All of a sudden, Jefferson, years younger than me, showed up and started talking. Yes, we've known each other for a long but not that very close since I left our town for many years. We started talking, random conversations and then we started laughing and smirking. Unexpectedly, my heart felt lighter, and why I didn't know I felt moved. It made me happy and even though my problems and worries were still there. I thought it would be alright and I pulled strength so that I could overcome it all.

My time talking with Jefferson helped me to lift up my morale and encouraged me to keep on living. I found happiness and continued to go back to how I should live. I give time to socialize even though not all the time. Sometimes it is enough to have a friendly chat with people. It lessens the burdens and makes me braver to face the challenges in life.

I realized that everyone can be a doctor to someone. The time you'll spend is very helpful even if it looks very simple. For someone who is struggling with mental health, the time you are with them is much to offer. I understood that if there is someone to listen to it enables us to share the hurdles we have inside. Just a simple "Hi or Hello" has a great impact to make someone smile inside. It's okay not to ask what someone's fighting because what's important is the presence that someone couldn't feel that they are not alone.
