Sometimes do you ever wonder why it is that you're so sad? It may hit you in waves; these listless moments when you feel as though all the happiness is ripped through the skin and you don't know what the trigger was. You just know it happens. We're a paradoxical generation. We have so much at our feet and yet, we are haunted by demons in our heads. We fight for what we want, we make our voices heard, and we do incredulous things once we set our minds to them. At the end of the day, we retreat to our private shells. Only there's no sound of the ocean or beckoning of home. There's the sound of emptiness that resonates and reminds us that we are so alone. A world plagued by networking yet there has never been a more hollowed out mass before. So what makes you so fucking empty inside sometimes? What makes the sadness creep in?
Sometimes I wonder if it's the authenticity of relationships. Maybe we don't try half as hard as we should. We care but sometimes it's painful as far as relationships go. Family and friends are people just like you; trying to get by in this haphazard world. It's not their fault that they stumble or fall short in aspects of their lives. Give the people a break.
It hurts when you invest in the wrong people. The time and energy in that isn't worth the return. It hurts when you don't invest in the right people. You'll have lost out on good net worth.
People say they want to understand you.
They act as though they really wish they could. Only tell them one of the deepest thoughts in the recesses of your subdued mind and they go running. No one wants to hear your problems. Everyone's got their own. Truth is, everyone is equally fucked up in the head. Just no one admits it.
Maybe that's why we're all so sad. We're all chasing away demons that we figure we alone have.
Yet, society is a mirrored image of these looming Beings.
