pressio

have you ever been in a crowd of people and felt lost, alone, confused? many of us feel like this. we feel empty even while surrounded by friends and family. it is nothing that we have done; it is just something that happens to us when we are lonely. and of all days, this is the loneliest of days for people who have no one to share themselves with. it is not valentine's day but single's awareness day, when you see all the people in that crowd connect with everyone but you.

sometimes people are just serious. there is no reason for them to be upset. they are just here, working alone in the hopes that they will finish soon. but to the unsuspecting bystander, it looks as if that person is actually not themselves and is in some kind of unstable state. how do the bystanders know what the normal behavior is for them? those observers assume that every person is happy and that everyone is full of life. but maybe they are wrong. maybe the real truth is that these moments are actually the unstable, emotional outbreaks that happen every so often and that the sad, serious demeanor is the true state of mind. we find ourselves questioning who we are and where we came from, but the truer questions that are seldom asked are we are we going and what does the future hold for us?

was there anything in this mortal world that you have ever craved? because you wanted it so badly, did you end up with it? did you fight to win it over to your side? after all of our struggles and hardships, unfortunately, we never end up with the one thing we want. we are left to wander through the crowds until we lose sight of our goals.
