Sometimes in life some of us come upon a place in life where we are totally on our own. Most people have family and friends they can lean on. People to cheer them on in their struggles. For those of us who don't, life can be extremely painful and hard to manage. When someone has no one to turn to for support it can be a difficult reality to face.
Just getting out of bed and performing ones daily routine can be a struggle. Having to go to work and pretend to be ok when you really want to tell someone you're hurting. But you know they won't be there to be a shoulder. They'll toss out some quick phrase like "cheer up" or "things will get better."
Perhaps they will. But where does that leave you? Still sitting there trying to cope with everything inside of you that is coming to the surface with no where to go with it. I used to think that maybe others would have my back if I truly needed them. But I have found out, that is not the case. They have their own lives. They are not counselors, psychologists or psychiatrists. So expecting them to care seems a bit unfair to them. I will give them that. However, if they love or care for you like they say they do, I expect them to give a crap about my well being. Not ever having anyone to share anything with is a difficult path to walk. I decided to help myself by making a blog to put all my pain on in the form of music, images and words. This seems to have helped. It has been therapeutic for me. If you are like me and you have no outlet, perhaps consider making yourself one through art, music, writing...just whatever you can use to express the pain.
