Sometimes, It’s Okay To Look Elsewhere

from The Everyday Human · host Eastin DeVerna

July: On FamilyJuly 17Sometimes your immediate family, those closest to you, won’t get it as you drift farther and farther away. But know this: you’re not alone. Despite what the news, social media, or certain politicians might have you think, there’s a whole world of humans out there who care and would be more than willing to throw you a line. Your friends. Your coworkers. Your book club. That one person in an online forum who’s been through, strangely enough, the same exact thing. Just start looking, and don’t be afraid to ask. That’s all you have to do, and you might find the support you need in the most unlikely of places, from the most unexpected of people. Sometimes, it’s okay to look elsewhere.Reflection title: Sometimes, It’s Okay To Look ElsewhereCreative inspiration:  Josephine Miles, "Family"Reflection question: If my family or those closest to me just aren’t hearing me, where else would I look? Am I missing the signals from someone in my family? How can I better hear them?
