Sorrow
About two days ago I wrote this message to a friend, or at least I used to think of him as a friend; but now I can’t be sure. He thought he knew me and he judged me on his own life experiences. He told me all I needed in life was a great personality, and good looks, which I already had. I told him I needed love…he laughed at me! This was my reply…
“Listen I know you think that a great personality and great looks get you everything in life, just like the movies show you, but I have personally found out that there has to be more to get to the greater things in life. I have thought about this longer than I would have hoped…but I have figured out that you need so much more then looks and a knack of talking to people on a personal level.
Yes I’m different than most people, I can relate to people, all people, with all different problems and personalities. But there is more to life than friendship. I NEED LOVE…and that is one thing that I can’t just look on Google to find. I need to find it in myself, and no one is willing to give me the time of day or the space required to do just that. I’m sorry if I’m coming off as a bitch but simply enough I don’t want to talk about my problems, I just want to wallow in my own darkness. It’s deep enough that I can see myself gone tomorrow, but then shallow enough I can see myself standing safely on the bottom of life.
A lot of things are happening to me right now…and like I said I honestly don’t care if anyone knows…and I honestly don’t care if you ask, because then I will just write you another message like this explaining that my life sucks, but because of my morals I will never have enough courage to end it.
Please for now, just give me time and space to find out if I can float or sink in my own life.”
Now that I reread this I realize that life is like a baby pool. Shallow enough that we can swim in it and enjoy ourselves, but then always deep enough to cause problems. A lot of things go into the water and many more things come out of it. Experiences! Life! Swim everyday like you can’t have another, and make sure you know when the next wave is coming in. Wear a life jacket!
