#IfOnlyYouKnew – Parts 5 & 6: Will You Hear Me Out?
Reading Time: 3 minutesPicture from Pixar’s Soul, taken from https://www.cinemablend.com
We are all fighting some sort of battle within us but do we take the time to reach out to others or even hear someone out?
In this last instalment of the 6-part #IfOnlyYouKnew interviews, we will hear our final pair of youth and adult, Ivy and Eric, as they share about the crucial ingredient to overcoming life’s internal battle and how we can help someone overcome theirs too.
This makes me connect deeply with a animation movie I watched just a couple of days back. In one scene, we see a child’s soul being crushed by self-doubt and by the discouraging words others spoke of her. But as she was walking aimlessly, dealing with her crushed soul, an older mentor (who was himself guilty of speaking some discouraging words before that), caught up with her and with his actions, showed that he finally understands her and encouraged her to find back the zest for life.
May we all find someone who can hear us out and be someone who hears others out as well.
Part 5 – Ivy: I am breaking down
Part 6 – Eric: I am very tired
