It’s Hard to Feel Ignored

More and more, I find that people have lost compassion for one another. Your thoughts are disregarded and you feel that what matters to you is ignored, and it’s not even so much from strangers, but rather from those that you know well.

Feeling Alone or Lonely

It feels lonelier in this world. I often find myself people-watching, and I find that unless you’re in a grocery store, most people don’t want to be bothered talking. Maybe it’s because technology has made it so that our interactions with each other can be easily done through computers, cell phones, and even robots. Think about it, you can go into a store and check out by a computer without ever having to talk to a human. Such ways of living are causing more chances of feeling lonely.

I’m Sorry

Saying I’m sorry can be pretty powerful words to say, especially since apologies are a sign of empathy. At the same time, over-apologizing, or excessively saying sorry when you don’t need to could also hurt your self-esteem.

Can I Trust You?

One of the hardest things to deal with is trust.  I find this to be true with friendships. It’s not easy to know who you can let into your life. As I get older, my circle of friendships has become less and less. I find there isn’t loyalty anymore, and that takes away my ability to trust a person. The definition of loyal is an allegiance to a government, institution, religion, cause, product, or person. Being loyal is about giving constant support to another person. At the same time, there needs to be a motivation to have loyalty.

The Silent Treatment

One of the hardest parts of life is the moment that we realize that we are being ignored. For whatever reason, it feels like being ignored seems more scary and intense than having someone argue with you.

Soul Mates

I came to think about what it really meant to have a soulmate. I’m not one that believes that there is just one single person out there, but many if we allow ourselves. There are people with that we will feel a connection, but to hold ourselves to just one person can cause a great deal of unnecessary heartbreak. It instills this thinking that there is this one perfect person out there for each of us. We have accepted the world’s idea of finding true love to mean that there is a match made in heaven.

Seeing Things Differently

In every relationship, there comes a time when problems arise. We just see things differently, and sometimes, we have trouble working things out. It can be between any two people, but the effects of disagreements have the same effect on us. 

Finding True Serendipity

Society has a funny way of making its demands known to people, that at times, it seems challenging to make decisions on our own. One demand, in particular, is that we need to be married. It isn’t often that I meet people who say that they wish to find a good job, buy a home, and stay single. It always seems to be the opposite. They want to find a good job and buy a home and get married. Why do we put so much pressure on ourselves to be in a relationship or to get married?

Tommorrow Isn’t Promised

Over the past year, we’ve experienced so much pain and loss. Some were due to the current virus, and others have passed for various reasons. No matter what the reason was for it happening, it still hurts us. Losing someone is never easy and it can leave such emptiness within us. I think sometimes that pain comes from not only the loss but realizing that while here on this earth, it will take before we see them again.
