Write about a random act of kindness you've done for someone.

Looking back on my life, I can see myself as a kind person. I chose to be kind because I never received kindness when I needed it the most. Being kind has its own drawbacks. When people realise that you are kind, they will try to manipulate you, exploiting your kind heart. Being a people pleaser, I have been backstabbed many a time.
A random kindness I have done for someone would be helping them let someone go from their life. That someone was me. Throughout my life, I lived for others' happiness. I never did anything that made my heart smile a little more. I found joy in a small act of kindness I did for others. It took a while to realise that I was never kind to my heart. I kept hanging on to someone terrible for my soul. I have seen my heart bleed, shatter and break a million times. Still, I wasn't kind enough to let myself be free.
That was the best act of kindness I have ever considered in all these years. It wasn't easy. It wasn't easy to let go of someone with whom you imagined your whole life. After all, it is what it is.
