This is the post. Check up on your friends.
You never know what someone is going through.
Words I live by is talk to someone as if that's the last words you will ever say to them, and that is the last thing they will remember you saying...
If that did not make you say wow... hmm.
How to Check up on your friend
Sending a quick message: "Was thinking about you, how are you doing" "How is School", "work"..etc "Saw you got a new job how is everything"
Offering a safe place for them to vent, let them know their feelings matter, give advice in places they ask for it.
Offering resources where you see needed. It is important you can recongize a significant change in them without being pushy, and showing your support.
