2. Be an artist

3. Be a shelter for someone
The ability to sense that someone is in trouble and the readiness to offer your help can transform you into a beacon of light for someone who’s lost. You don’t have to do much, you don’t have to always be available for others, you just need to be able to be the kind of friend you want to have.
4. Be a joker
There’s nothing despair hates more than laughter. Laugh at the world, laugh at yourself, laugh so that others will forget their sorrow for a minute. Don’t be afraid to look silly, don’t be afraid to make mistakes and don’t be afraid to admit that you are afraid. Please, share this!
