if we're all alone....aren't we in this together?

i don't know.


i hate those words.


for the first time in my life i've had to say them....and mean them. usually i just say them because i want to avoid the topic or don't really feeling like telling people the truth, but these past few weeks i've said, "i don't know" probably around 78 times and meant it every time. its empty and cold and confusing. it the weirdest feeling in the world. its just like feeling blank. its as close to nothing we can ever get.

i don't know how i feel.
i don't know what to do.
i don't know what i should say.
i don't know what you want me to say.
i don't know what i can say without making you angry.
i don't know how to make you see what the problem is.
i don't know how to make you happy.
i don't know what you want me to do about it.
i don't know where i want to live.
i don't know who i want to live with.
i don't know whats going to happen in the next few months.
i don't know how to fix everything thats going so horribly wrong.
i just don't know.

i need you to help me figure it out.
ok?

no......theres never anyone there who can help answer these kind of questions. when you run out of feeling no one can come fix it or make you feel it again. this is all by yourself. and when its gone its 10x harder to get it back.

i don't know what to do.


selflessness is rare, but beautiful. why is it so hard to want whats best for someone else?

“love is not affectionate feeling, but a steady wish for the loved person's ultimate good as far as it can be obtained”- c.s.lewis

this is the real challenge. to realize that its not enough to love someone because you like being around them or because they are funny or pretty or nice. its not enough to care or even be concerned. it's not enough to hang out with them or get to know them. if you really love someone you have to give them the ultimate form of love......being selfless with them. you have to have a constant wish that everything is good for them all the time. to say you love someone, but internally only care about how you feel in the relationship is not real love. its the love that blinds us. its the love that makes us jealous. its hard to get past the point where you aren't jealous and into the area where the only thing you want is whats best for the other person.

i wish everyone would try a little harder at this. everyone has their own problems. everyone has their own past, present, and future to worry about. everyone has felt the way you have before.

so guess what....
sometimes its not about you....
sometimes its not about me....
maybe for once its about....her...
or him...
or them.


the hardest thing in the world is to watch someone you love be happy when you, yourself are not. there really is nothing that can be done. but to really love is to be able to be happy for someone because they're happy.

good luck.
how are you suppose to get people to understand this?
i don't know.....
