Back When I Was Soul Searching

A Look Back at How I Used To Feel

Back When I Was Soul Searching

I am on a journey inside myself trying to figure out the root of my emptiness and sadness. I was thinking that I had a soul full of fire, passion which would fuel me to fight through my issues and being in the state of mind of positivity. I believe that I am just a lost guy looking for happiness. Lost because there seems to be almost nowhere for me to fit into this world, whatever path in life I feel as if I should take seems right, I don't see myself being with my friends for too long, don't see myself living to an old age. It is like through all my experiences that have happened to me have cut me so much, my soul has many scars that re open and begin to bleed again. I always wonder how to stop the scars from re opening and bleeding. The thought that crosses my mind is that if I start to drink a lot then the feeling would just go away, or if I fall asleep when I wake up then I would feel better, talk to anyone that seems like they had the answer that I was seeking, talk to a counselor, a friend and just anyone that is there to listen. The thing that I hope for is maybe that they can understand me and help me end my suffering, but this internal pain is something that never seems to go away. None of this works to save me from my own abyss of hell that resides in the darkest corner of my soul. The pain is all internal, the pain is the darkness that keeps me down. It is why I sometimes look forward to sleeping because just for awhile it stops all of the negative thoughts rolling around in my head and stops me from replaying the moments of all the emotional pain I have been through. Looking back being different and the negative people keeping me down probably plays a huge part in my internal pain because it has stayed with me for this long. My tortured soul is just condemned to the depths of hell, all I have is this scarred soul cursed by the devil. Nothing will drive me to happiness, and in all honesty I have grown too used to my self loathing and my damaged soul. Part of me wants it to be fixed and another part wants it to stay the way it is. Is it because I feel as if I deserve it? Is it because I have given up and I am just waiting for my time to end? Is it because I like being in pain and lost?

Even in my darkest moments, my mind still had a little sliver of hope. There is still a lot of time needed to search for the answer to fixing my soul. It may have scars on every inch of it but I believe this damaged soul can be fixed or can be lived with someday.

I went to a small high school, like 120-people-in-my-graduating-class small. It definitely had some good and some bad, and if you also went to a small high school, I’m sure you’ll relate to the things that I went through.

1. If something happens, everyone knows about it

Who hooked up with whom at the party? Yeah, heard about that an hour after it happened. You failed a test? Sorry, saw on Twitter last period. Facebook fight or, God forbid, real fight? It was on half the class’ Snapchat story half an hour ago. No matter what you do, someone will know about it.

Chandler Bing

I'm assuming that we've all heard of the hit 90's TV series, Friends, right? Who hasn't? Admittedly, I had pretty low expectations when I first started binge watching the show on Netflix, but I quickly became addicted.

Without a doubt, Chandler Bing is the most relatable character, and there isn't an episode where I don't find myself thinking, Yup, Iam definitely the Chandler of my friend group.

Working with the public can be a job, in and of itself. Some people are just plain rude for no reason. But regardless of how your day is going, always having to be in the best of moods, or at least act like it... right?

1. When a customer wants to return a product, hands you the receipt, where is printed "ALL SALES ARE FINAL" in all caps.

2. Just because you might be having a bad day, and you're in a crappy mood, doesn't make it okay for you to yell at me or be rude to me. I'm a person with feelings, just like you.

3. People refusing to be put on hold when a customer is standing right in front of you. Oh, how I wish I could just hang up on you!

Another day, another Elle Woods comment. Can’t us blondes get through the day without someone harping at us over the typical stereotypes about who we are? I never understood why a person was judged based upon the hair color they were born with, or the hair color they choose to have (unless you dye your hair blue like Kylie Jenner, I’m still trying to understand why that’s a trend). Nevertheless, as it should be assumed, not everyone is the same. Not all blondes like bright colors and Lilly Pulitzer, and not all blondes claim to identify with Marilyn Monroe. I think the best suggestion to give to people before they make such radical claims is to stop judging a book by its cover. Or in this case, stop judging a blonde by her hair color.
