How could you know?

There are certain traumatic experiences in our lives that we think are necessary for other people to know about. The problem is they are very personal and we actually don't even want to talk about them.

But it could mean hella lot if people just knew. It could mean a little change in people's attitude towards more compassionate behaviour. Our pre-set ignorance only makes the distance between people bigger.

In case it haven't crossed your mind yet, I'm talking about abuse or rape. I'm talking about bullying. I'm talking about domestic violence. I'm talking about sudden death of your loved one. I'm talking about all these things you simply cannot just bring up because it makes people uneasy; they will usually go "Oh..." and then don't know what to say next. Then they want to change the topic as soon as they have a chance. And that's just the best case scenario not mentioning all these know-it-alls.

If only people were less ignorant and less self-centered.

You don't know how I feel"
