You are not alone.

 “Many people need desperately to receive this message:'You are not alone.'” 
- Kurt Vonnegut

Ever since the second you opened your tiny, most likely brown, eyes, someone has been there to care for you. Someone has been there to help you along. And if not I sincerely apologize and hope the best for your future offspring. But through the coo’s and the spit up, someone somewhere deep in the depths of your begginings has cared about you.
    Why is it though, that when we begin to ponder about life itself and why we are the way we are, thoughts begin brewing in the pit of our brains that maybe, just maybe, we are alone in this world. That maybe, there isn’t a single soul on this planet that could give a shit if a sinkhole replaced the land where our house once stood and we were thrown into the depths of the earth, never to be heard from again. When we were young, if we even thought we were lost in the mall or the supermarket, we began to cry and shiver as if we were ripped directly from the loved one we were with. But now, lost has a whole new meaning to us. If we, now as adults, begin to think we are lost, we do much more than cry or shiver.
Many will shut down and sulk with the realization that their life has fallen to shit. Others of us may become angry. Oh no, they don’t do anything to find their way, they just get angry. It doesn’t accomplish anything (neither did the first one) and it makes me kind of what to slap and or beat said person to an angry pulp. And then another “tactic” is doing something about it. Personally, I choose the latter option. If you want to find your way, or be somebody, take a tip from “The Sister Act 2”:
          
”If you wanna be somebody, if you wanna go somewhere,
you better wake up and pay attention” 

    Now, that may be the simplest way of saying what I’m trying to convey here, but it gets most of my point across fairly well. Growing up and becoming adults, for some people, comes with losing touch with life and coming to the conclusion that no one cares.
      People care about you; stop whining about your lonliness. Buck up; your life will only change if you take matters into your own hands and take from life what YOU want.
      And if none of this seems obtainable to you, it may never actually be, unless you try. I could go all yoda on you right now, but I’ll refrain and leave my quirky movie quotes for another time. May you find your way today, and remember that there is always someone who cares.

  1. This post is so inspiring and so touching. Selena this is honestly so eye opening. Even if you feel or are alone, someone out there will be there for you. We shouldn't lose hope. I agree we should stop complaining that we are so lonely, when in reality we aren't.

  2. As human beings, we crave attention. Even though we know family and friends are there for us, it is always nice to be reassured every now and then. I am glad you wrote about how people are there for us, because they always are.
