Everything is (Not) Alright

Everything is not alright.

What happened?

I looked away for too many moments, and then the world was a wreck.

Maybe I wasn't paying enough attention.

Maybe I was underestimating opponents.

Maybe I had too much faith in humanity.

Maybe I tried too hard at the wrong thing.

Maybe this circle of life is more of an infinity sign, where we keep doing the same motion in a rotational motion, until we get dizzy and forget to pay attention to our own, individual souls.  Us, we, empaths struggle to separate other people's pain from our own, so we internalize.  We forget to take care of ourselves, therefore we forget to live properly.   We take everyone else's feelings and words in order to help them, and we forget how to tell other people that we, ourselves, need help.  

What we have in common is that we all struggle.  How we struggle on a day-to-day basis is different, but the existential struggle is very similar.  We try to be people who are relevant and worthy of love and deserve something which does not cause pain.  We want to be the example, but we can't put one and one together in order to find our own path.  

My journey is stunted, but I will find a path.
