They say we walk alone, that all humans are destined to walk alone. Sure, we cross paths with other people on our journey, we bond, we share lives with those we choose but we still walk alone.
Sometimes I feel alone. All the millions of people in this world with me yet I am one soul bound to this mortal coil ordained to see, hear, feel but never to truly connect with another, to stroll as a single being on this earth. Am I doomed to this? Can I change that if I wish it? I would like to think so.
Each of us has our moments of intimacy with another, each of us has touched another life but when we are facing our darkest moments, we all inevitably stand alone looking for a way out, trying to fight that which we cannot see, that thing that haunts our fears, dreams and memories.
So what can we do about it? Should we ignore it, pretend that of this, we know nothing? That is what some choose to do and continue to saunter through life never facing the truth. But; there are some; some people, some truly amazing people who face it and know that it can be beaten. They fight everyday and begin to spread the courage and valour that they have shown to those they meet.
I want to be one of those people, struggling with the same weaknesses but standing up to them, facing them, choosing to fight the darkness. Which will you be?

CRAZY!!
ReplyDeleteHow many countless times don't I feel JUST like how you describe in your text?!?!? How many dozen times I haven't asked myself if there's someone else who might have these thoughts too? Just because of how everyone seems so confident in what they do, and even though things aren't going that well for them in life, they still manage to pull off an act, pretending things are okay...making me pull of an act too, because who WANTS to stand out and be the "abnormal" one, who can't deal with life?!?!
AWESOME text! absolutely awesome
Haha yeah, I always wonder the same thing myself, that's why I write. Deep down I know that other people feel the same and ask the same questions, but when you are alone in your head, you just don't see it.
