What do you see?
Look again. Look harder.
Everyday we; walk by, work alongside, great, smile, scorn, embrace, mock. We see what we perceive. Individual perceptions difer. How hard do you look? Do you even care to look? Do you notice them? The little things?
What was she doing before and after this ?
Would you know if someone needed help? How would you tell?
Everyday we ask people..."How are you?" We measure success on careers, marriages, neighbourhoods instead of how happy you are.
We hide ourselves everyday to conform. Hide away our addictions, flaws, and innermost wants. So those when they look upon us think we are fine.
Look harder. Care more.

Whiskey At Dusk
Guess the whiskey was more important to you in the end, wasn’t it? It was more than the well-being of your friends; more vital than showing up to the places you promised you would and could come to; more critical of a matter than fulfilling your damn responsibilities and getting the press off your back.
