A Look Back At A Dark World

There was a time when all I knew was pain

So it seems my night with close friends ends in pain and the continuation of my depression. There is always this empty feeling that I have. The feeling that I am stuck in darkness in my own world is saddening. It bothers me non stop and every waking moment of my life is filled with darkness that is created by my mind and my experiences. Everyone has their own world inside their hearts, and mind. whatever their world is mirrors to their soul and shapes their soul to what their world resembles. My heart and mind has been in nothing but darkness for so long that my soul is full of nothing but emptiness or baron, and dark.

I believe my weakness to be my kindness, I am compassionate, and loving guy. I happen to not be the average emotionless guy that really only cares for himself. I care about everyone, I take in account of how a person feels and based on the situation and what they are going through will determine how I will act. I don't let people push me around when they cross the line of one of my morals but I think before I act. It just so happens people seem to want to take what they need from someone and once they get all they want then they move on and act like you never existed. This is the truth of how things are in this world. The worse part is I do not think I am going to change and adapt to society. I am not interested in changing to a different person so it seems I will be stuck alone and in pain until its my time.

I thought that I have been beating and winning the fight with my depression but it looks like it has been a stalemate. The darkness is winning the fight and the light is losing the fight. The dark entity that surrounds me can be seen by those that care to look for it or by those that have been through it. It is not too hard to look for because it is in my soul and just like they say you can see whats in a persons soul by looking into their eyes. It feels like I am a guy stuck in darkness all alone with no one to pick me up or help me in any fashion. I pretend like I am okay with all my jokes I pull out but really I am a guy that feels everything, I feel everyones pain, I feel everything, and I just feel too damn much. The part that hurts is that the only ones that seem to really see my pain are the ones I tell which is hard to let people in and let them know how I really feel. No one can see through me and understand what is really going on. Long story short this adds to my pain as well. Sometimes I hope the darkness would crush me and end my suffering of pain and loneliness.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

These powerful lyrics remind us how much good is inside each of us and that sometimes we are too blinded by our imperfections to see the other side of the coin, to see all of that good.

Every Girl Needs To Listen To 'She Used To Be Mine' By Sara Bareilles

The song was sent to me late in the middle of the night. I was still awake enough to plug in my headphones and listen to it immediately. I always did this when my best friend sent me songs, never wasting a moment. She had sent a message with this one too, telling me it reminded her so much of both of us and what we have each been through in the past couple of months.

What's your sign? It's one of the first questions some of us are asked when approached by someone in a bar, at a party or even when having lunch with some of our friends. Astrology, for centuries, has been one of the largest phenomenons out there. There's a reason why many magazines and newspapers have a horoscope page, and there's also a reason why almost every bookstore or library has a section dedicated completely to astrology. Many of us could just be curious about why some of us act differently than others and whom we will get along with best, and others may just want to see if their sign does, in fact, match their personality.

Being a good person does not depend on your religion or status in life, your race or skin color, political views or culture. It depends on how good you treat others.

We are all born to do something great. Whether that be to grow up and become a doctor and save the lives of thousands of people, run a marathon, win the Noble Peace Prize, or be the greatest mother or father for your own future children one day. Regardless, we are all born with a purpose. But in between birth and death lies a path that life paves for us; a path that we must fill with something that gives our lives meaning.
