The Act

Dear Diary, 

Today I fell sick, didn't feel like working. As I mentioned to the team members I received a response which I never expected.

I have been part of the team for about 3 months, and I am more known to be anti-social. I prefer loneliness, more often probably it's because of my insecurity where I am not good at striking a conversation. I often try to bunk social gatherings and have been doing with lame excuses. I usually skip my meals and have them very late by the day so I need not encounter the crowd during regular time.

The lockdown is not new for me, I am pretty much used. I used to think badly about myself. But when I fell ill, my inbox was filled with messages that uplifted my soul and belief. My teammates sent messages, we can help you if you are not well, whatever we could do. Don't hesitate to ask!

How often we judge people for what really is not? Let's think and help others with our capabilities. It may not change the entire world but it can change someone's world with a gentle act of kindness.
