life can be very intimidating at times. worry is always present for pain just around the corner. fear and frustration seem so prevalent in our time. it's so hard to keep it together when faced with the kind of distress that we see so often.
the human mind will play tricks on itself when told to deal with an intense emotion, or the onset of something extraordinary.
communication is becoming easier and easier with technology thriving so, but it becomes more difficult to keep in touch. conversations become shallow, and, because it's so easy to get ahold of anyone you like, the act of expressing and sharing has dwindled considerably. the knowledge that anyone is no more than a motion away has distanced us so much not only from one another but from ourselves.
love these days is not as it used to be. it has become something to strive for but not have. fear controls each move we make - our thoughts lead us to pain. love is not something we'll suffer for anymore, it's not something worth our pain. it's expected that a perfect relationship can come out of nowhere to seduce us and keep us whole. the ability to communicate no longer exists. we have become slaves of our own imaginations, and underestimate the potential in all things.
we hover at the edge of life and back down.
we do not believe in ourselves.
