Sometimes I look upon the world and the people I know, the people I see, the people I interact with and can't help but feel sad. I realised that many people can't or are afraid to talk to their friends anymore about feeling down or sad or frustrated with the world because then they are simply labelled "emo" and as such should just be ignored as a purveyor of drama and or self pity.
I´m trying to figure out why people don't understand that this is often a cry for help or an inability to be understood or find the right path in their life.
Although I've said this before, it never makes any difference to the people who have me in their watch lists, or at least it appears not to. Sometimes friends are there to simply talk to, to beat out what's troubling them and find a different perspective. Constructive critiscism that will help them to either understand or solve the issues that they are talking about.
Sometimes the only thing someone needs is a person to listen to and a little compassion. In return we get the knowledge and assurance that we were there for someone and in some way, even if only listening to their problems, helped in a small way.
The world is becoming a harsh place to live in for some people and it´s us, the people around them that are making it like this. Not someone else, but us, everyone of us. Really, when did people stop caring about anyone but themselves.
