The SOVA Project is happy to feature this blog post written by one in our team of fantastic SOVA Ambassadors—these are young people who help create meaningful blog posts from adolescents’ perspectives.
I recently stumbled upon this quote, and I’ve been thinking about what it’s saying and wanted to share what I thought of it. 
I feel that many times during a struggle or a time when we are transforming from a hard situation, others can judge.
This does not necessarily mean they are judging in a harsh or negative way, but it just means that they walked into your situation in life on a day or moment that may have not been your best.
Many times in my life when I badly wanted to heal and improve certain aspects of myself, others saw one moment of my struggle and was just able to grasp that second. I want to make others aware that just because other people saw you on a day that you were really anxious, or a day that your thoughts were everywhere doesn’t mean that the progress you have made is lost. It’s a process and you’re growing more each day. Just put one foot in front of the other and focus on how you can make this world a better place. Keep fighting guys!
Have you noticed your child acting differently when encountering people during a harder time? Do you think that reminding that they are only catching a moment in time will help?
