Nothing works
Everything's expensive
And opaque
And privatised

— Dry Cleaning, "Anna Calls From the Arctic"

#Lyrics #BitterTruths

Most people already know the #bittertruths. Overweight people know their health is affected. The unemployed man knows he needs to pay his bills. The risk taker knows they may fail. Nobody needs your '#realitycheck'.
What people struggle with is #selfimage #love #confidence. They already think I'm the worst. It's my fault. I'll never get there.
At every stage, build people up, guide them to resources, show them how to help themselves. When you give people something to move towards, they take it.
