somehow. Do a better job of stressing how important mere acknowledgement can be. It can make a huge difference in someone's life.


But also the idea of just a little bit. If everybody just tried a little bit. Stretched just a little bit. Gave just a little bit.
Sometimes you have to look at what you don't want to see. Sometimes that might be all you have to give. Being seen and acknowledged can mean the world to someone- even if you can't help them with the rent.


Bless your heart. Yes.
