”Does it make you sad to know that life is more than who we are?” – GGD
The answer to that, yes. Not because I think my life holds anymore value than the next. We are here as a vapor. We are nothing but a wave in the vast seas. So many waves have already come, and so many more will replace ours. In 1-200 years we probably won’t even be a distant memory. We won’t matter. What’s sadder is knowing I don’t matter now, in the presence. If I did, surely those around me would realize my struggle to find any form of hope in this ever darkening and cold world. More importantly my struggle to fit in. They’d see my heart ache, hear my silence, and notice my battle scars. I’m at war with a world who has left me abandoned, abused, neglected and hopeless. A world with little compassion, heart or time for the broken. I will never find someone who loves me for who I am, which sadly holds more importance over me than I wish it did. In a world where things like looks, status quo, money, and material objects are valued higher than a persons character. It’s no wonder I want to surrender to the depths of my depression, and loneliness. What’s sad is those of us who feel so deeply, are the ones to suffer and die from self infliction the most. So with every suicide, this world becomes a darker place with less compassion, kindness, love, empathy, understanding and overall heart. We’re a dying breed. Maybe that explains why the worlds in the state it’s in. And no matter how much we all try and change the world, our world, our environment and our circumstances we fall short. I fall short. I am constantly reminded of my failures, weaknesses and no amount of fighting or running will keep me from escaping my reality and this endless cycle that has imprisoned me. There’s only one means to stop the madness. Kill the host.

I’m sorry you are hurting so much I am sorry your face this. : (
YOU do matter! You matter because I am reminded of my struggles and makes me want to reach out to you. You remind me I am not alone. That others go through the same things and the only worth we have is by reaching out to each other.
You are right in many years there will be no record of us. But it is not true that now doesn’t matter. It mattered that you posted. It matters that you hurt- OH ! I know how that is an oxymoron statement! << does that make sense?! Okay, yes, it does, I had to look it up!
It doesn't feel like it matters you hurt! Gut it does matter that you hurt. It affects you greatly and so, it matters. No one in your life (as you were writing) seems to care and that is just sad. Sad and hurtful that those people are clueless.
Please try not to place your value according to people who do not have your best interest at heart. Don't judge yourself based on what these clueless people.
It is not you- you don't cause them to be so rude and ruthless. It may make you wonder, what did I do?? But it IS about them and how they are not treating you well. 🙁
What happens now does matter. It mattered that you posted. I hope (okay if this isn't what helps… I still wish it will) it matters I respond.
Thank You PG,
Your words are beautiful and of great comfort. Thank you for taking the time to express your thoughts to me on this matter. Matter…haha get it.. anyways. =)
I truly wish more people were like you and had your deep sense of care and urgency for others. I don’t know your story or what brought you to SP, but it saddens me that people with such heart have to hurt in the manner we do. Thank you for taking time out of your day or night to respond. It’s nice to know there’s someone on the other end of this keyboard who might possibly know the hardships we face. You’re beautiful! Stay that way! Sorry I’m short on words, I’m just so emotionally/mentally drained at the moment. Thank YOU again! I wish you the very best!
I understand about being emotionally drained. Me too tonight. I had a long talk with a good friend- 1 3/4, so why was I so empty after? Because some things are bothering and it leaves me empty to try to solve them.
You know, we are all beautiful. We each are just as you say I am. No difference. We haven’t been valued and shown our worth.
That helps to remember, esp today. Thank you for your kind words! YOU are beautiful.
P.S…Your- thanks for posting about this “matter”! 😉 Love your sense of humor!
