if you see someone being interrupted in a conversation, acknowledge them, don’t let them be pushed to the side. if you see someone lagging behind, walk beside them. if someone is being ignored, take the step to include them. always remind people of their worth. it hurts when it feels like you’re being forgotten. that small gesture can mean a lot.

remember when just with the simple dialogue of “han solo, the rebellion general?” “no, the smuggler!” jj abrams was able to perfectly illustrate the stark difference between finn and rey’s backgrounds and perception of the galaxy, while also recognizing the different ways that han solo is perceived? with just two short lines of dialogue? i love the force awakens
Charles Dickens, Little Dorrit (via quoted-books)
