Growing up in the 80’s would make you believe that anything could be solved in a 30 minute episode. There was no problem that required more than that amount of time to resolve unless it was a mini- series or an after-school special. One of my favorite shows was the CareBears. They understood that in order to resolve some issues, you need help. Each of them had a special gift that was tattooed on their belly, and when things got gloomy, they would join hands and do the “care bear stare.”

How many of us suffer in silence? How many of us wear our fake smiles, every day? We put on a show, and people never really know what’s really going on with us. We were not created to do this thing alone. We were not created to suffer in silence. There are people who care about you. There are people who will go out of their way for you. Open up. Let people in. Stop asking, “who cares?”
