i'm not sure who Joel is, but i saw this pic and thought out loud "sucks to be Joel."
and that sucks that it sucks to be Joel.
i don't know what Joel did or if we might all here the story and even not like Joel ourselves?
but this was written on the chalkboard in the child play area at a Caribou coffee here in Charlotte.
and seeing this really bummed me out.
because kids are REALLY mean.
i remember.
kids were really mean to me. and i was a really mean kid a lot of times too.
but I dream of a world that’s different… where “love wins”. EVEN with children!
i dream of a world where my child doesn't walk into a Caribou and see his/her name written in place of Joel's.
better yet i dream helping our child be a person who shows love and kindness instead of the opposite.
maybe it's possible. children can change.
can adults?
been mean lately?
shown love lately?
written anyone's name on a chalkboard?
