Ask for help Quote by Carson Anekeya
““True care is proactive, not reactive. Not everyone struggling can find the strength to ask for help. Sometimes, it’s up to you, the helper, to notice and step in. You don’t need permission to be someone’s light in their darkest moments, sometimes, you just have to shine. Not every struggle comes with a cry for help. When someone is drowning in silence, it’s up to you to throw the lifeline they’re too afraid to request. Sometimes, it’s up to you to hear what isn’t being said.””
