IF YOU CAN'T BE KIND BE QUIET

Please don't...

Please don't put your insecurities on other people and call it theirs instead of yours. (Gaslighting)

Please don't put your dated beliefs on people downing them because they live life differently. (Close-minded)

Please don't give unsolicited advice to people. (Egotistical)

Please don't go out of your way to say something negative to people. We are all grown. We know the difference between something nice vs. something mean. (Messy)

Please don't tell someone that they are doing too much because you live in a place of doing less. (Jealousy)

Please don't minimize what someone is going through when they are trying to express the pain that they are feeling in that moment. It doesn't matter if it seems small to you, pain is pain.

(Insensitive)

I'm so tired of hearing people speak so carelessly concerning others. I am a "Do no harm" kind of person and like Tabitha Brown says, "Have a nice day, and if you can't, don't go messing up anybody else's." Just stop it already. Keep your negative and messy behavior to yourself. I always say, "If you can't be kind, be quiet."
