A lot of you asked me about 13 reasons why. There have been a lot of postmortem of the show, so let’s not get into it again, instead I give you this. 13 ways how I feel we can be better in looking out for each other.
1. We can STOP trying to give simple solutions to complex problems
2.We can listen to listen
3.We can hug more
4.We can tell people what they mean to us when they are around (not only for lovers)
5.We can be sensitive enough to notice changes in people around us
6.We can build more community centers
7.We can allocate more to mental health care in our national budgets
8.We can build more health care centers where people can go not just not to die but to learn to live
9.We can hug a lot more
10.We can stop assuming that we know what others are going through
11.We can always be kind
12.We can be aware that our words could have an effect on someone’s life
13.We can stop taking people for granted
Love,
Jo
