How lonely we all are.
Despite being labeled as social creatures, deep down, humans are individual, lonely people. Our daily experiences that shape us, individual thoughts, dreams and emotions cannot be felt by others and can only be solely understood in the context of ourselves. Hence, we tend to feel lonely even when we are surrounded by people, friends or family, cause our minds are still so isolated from each other while the physical being is still there. We feel disconnected from others because other people cannot comprehend what we are feeling. People might be in the same situation, yet we still feel alone. There might be a sense of momentary solidarity, but we are all still different.
So interesting how sociology manages to study people as beings all together, as societies and structures. We are all so individual, so alone, yet shaped by social actions of others, social norms and cultures. Although we have different mindsets, we still act collectively to create change.
I feel lonely now cause people don't really get what I want, don't understand how some things mean so much to me. I can try to explain but I don't want to get discouraged. It's complicated how you can be so torn between different things. Between what I really want to do and people's expectations of me. See which one will eventually win. Why can't things work hand in hand. Well, life can't always be perfect. Yet, if I try too hard to fight for the what I really want, I am afraid that it might not be worthwhile in the end. You don't know until you've tried right? Live and learn?
