hearing is external and listening is thinking
but more than that, listening is caring
take the time to listen
Really listen
Listen to the birds singing in the morning
Listen to the people laughing with joy
Listen to the quiet details in your favorite song
Listen
Don’t just hear
Listen to the crack in someone's voice before they cry
Listen to the emotions when someone speaks
because Listening is feeling
Listening is connecting
Listening is understanding
inspired by the lyric "I don't want to be heard, I want to be listened to" (Forest Twenty One Pilots)
