it is amazing how alone you can feel in a crowd.
i dont think i have ever been as lonely as i was today. it seemed
no matter whati did, who i tried to call, i didnt get a response.
i couldnt talk to my sister who was way to held up in being with her
friends and being a bitch to me, my friends didnt pick up their
phones...and there was just this feeling. its like. i felt as
though no one else would notice me. i drove around today...trying
to make myself feel more..well.. a part of something. i walked into
stores that looked crowded. hoping for some interaction... only to find
myself feeling alone and alienated.
its weird to feel this way. i dont know.. like no one
cares. this whole day has been of a reflective matter. i
couldnt help but think, do i have real friends? are the people
around me ones i really could run to and cry to? even if you are
reading this and saying to yourself "of course im your real friend"
take into consideration this: would you come cryiing to me?
and do i feel the same way? i dont mean to sound like a bitch,
but really..
these thoughts eventually lead me to the conclusion of another. i
realized how unimportant my accomplishments have been so far. i
realized how fucking selfish i have been, and how pathetic my trivial
problems were. Look at me. who am i? is it really
that important that i have good grades? or a nice purse? what do
either of these do for who i am? i sit around and wonder about what
stupid shirt to wear tomorrow, when i really should be appreciating the
fact that i am alive. i dont think i have ever experienced
reality. everything i hvae done in my life was for the benefit of
myself. my school work was so i can get a good job.. my music
because it was something i could brag about.. my voulnteer work because
its good on my resumee.. i am a shallow person. but what about
reality? how have i been able to be so completely self absorbed
these past years?
look at my stupid whiny posts about " i wish iwas in love" bla bla bla
shit... i wish i was REAL. why am i sitting here complainging
when you look at the tsunami survivors. look at them...
I ask of you to take a minute and look. and to think. i ask
of you to reconsider how significant your lives are. if that
happened to us tomorrow, how would you look back on your life?
look at these pictures...these are real.
she is real. he is real. they are the ones that deserve the life
that i live. they are the ones that have suffered..lost their
families. the first girl lost her entire family.. the boy is
crying because hes watching his sisters body being cremated. can
you imagine? what if this was us..you..me..your brother, your
sister...
so what am i really saying here? i dont really know myself. maybe
i am trying to just say that it is time for all of us to be real before
it is too late. maybe what i am saying is that it is time we stop
pretending and trying to be someone we arent, because it can get swept
away in a moment. maybe this is just a call for attention after a
day of feeling completely alone. maybe its both.
its amazing how easy it is to cover up a tears... a little excuse about
dust in the air, and a bright smile. i wonder if people can see
through it.
