From time to time, and when it does i read this;
From the moment of my conception it was my destiny to die; From destiny the path for me ahead does lie; From my passage, etiology and epistemology have often made me cry; From the depths of experience the birth of knowledge can fly; From the wisdom I pass, the next will try, even though they too are destined to die. Some paths we are shown, while some we find. Some paths are dark, while some shine. Some LIE flat out, while some in Truth you climb. Some you miss or pay no mind, while others ventured are truly unkind. Some present choices from which we learn, while messages in others we cannot discern. On some our pace is quickened with desire, while others are traversed in gloomy dire. Fear not the path followed, nor the hurdles there. For each path traveled teaches those who care.
I know the feeling. You are in a crowd, surrounded by friends or family and you look at them like you are on the outside looking in. Like you are not a part of it yet you are. You look at the crowd in a mall, think there are so many people but why do i feel like i am not part of this. It is a strange feeling and it leaves you feeling alone and sometimes lost. But it passes too. Just think of something positive or visit a good friend or pick up the phone and talk to someone and that helps.
It's been hard for me because I'm a single parent and I also work a lot of hours so my social life is limited. My family are all back east and my close friends I can count on one hand, so a lot of the emotional and moral support that most people can rely on just isn't there for me.
I often feel that I am alone against the world with all of it's challenges and obligations with no shoulder to lean on and sometmes it feels a bit overwhelming.
On the other hand I keep busy so I don't have a lot of time to brood or feel sorry for myself.
Thats just the way to do it! Don't sit around and mull over your life. That will make you depressed and put you down. Get busy make new friends try not to dwell on the negative in life but embrace the few positive you have and hold on to them. That will boost your spirit. Don't think about the things you don't have! Think about what you do have! You are healthy your kids are healthy you love them they love you you have a place to call home you have a few friends but a couple good friends are better than a hundred who pretend to be your friend.
I know it is all easier said then done but if you can then try to be positive. You will see it will make a difference and if its a really bad day then you know where to find us. You can lean on our shoulders any time...
