“Well, there’s a song called Perspectives. It’s about the angle that you’re looking from. So, I feel like many people look down on it and judge because they don’t understand it. And I can’t judge them for that because there are many things I have no comprehension of because I’ve never experienced them myself.

The way that you look at it decides how you’re going to see it. So if you’re looking at it from knowing that you want to judge and look down, that’s what you’re going to do. And that’s all you’ll see, which is the negative instead of the positive side of me.

Show compassion. Empathy is one thing, but compassion is the next step from that. So when you see people struggling, whether they’re homeless or not, just help. Do something if you can. If you can’t, then just words are enough sometimes.”- Dee

What would we say to one another? How would we treat each other if we saw ourselves in the shoes of others? This is just a simple photo idea, and I hope to inspire people to see themselves in the shoes of others, contributing to a more kind world. A mile in my shoes.

“These shoes were brand new just last week, but look at them now. I’ve walked miles in them; they have put in work. People often look at me and think I’m stealing, but that’s not who I am. My shoes might be dirty and worn out, but they tell the story of my daily grind. If you had to walk in my shoes, you’d understand the struggle and strength it takes to get through each day. Most people wouldn’t be able to walk a day in my shoes. I’m not just what you see on the outside.” -Bryan (24)
