Just Some Thoughts

This was originally sent to a struggling friend of mine, only that it has been altered quite a bit.

Why are you depressed? Why do you hate your life? Why do you continue to just sit there doing nothing?

Why do you insist on being just emotional? Your tears won't help you. You can gain pity and attention from people, but they don't really have the force of will to help you in all levels.

Do you even have the guts to stand up for yourself?

If there are things that need to be done, do it.

You don't need people to tell you what to do. It is still up to you to write your own fate.

Will you continue grieving with your emotions?

Or let go of the past and move on?

What's more important to you, something absent? Or your own self filling that gap, not by grieving about it; but by doing something to acquire it, which one?

Sometimes, if we just think about it real hard, we desire for things that won't be there to satisfy us forever.

It's that longing that constantly makes us suffer.

Are you comfortable that way?

Do you get what you want by continuing to hurt yourself physically or mentally about it?

Is there even the will to do something about it?

Is there?

Wake up; you're playing the role of a character from an epic.

What you're doing right now, is just allowing yourself to fail most unnecessarily. 

Wake up, you're still alive and breathing.

Don't be too negative, it's a useless joke and it's unnecessary.

Don't be too positive either, it's also unnecessary and it will only catch you in disappointment.

Just bear reality for what it truly is.

Stay strong, fight and contain those useless feelings.

Everybody wants to be loved, it's tough to expect.

Love isn't something asked, it's given to you.

The problem with people today is that they want everything for themselves.

They'd rather feel loved, whereas they don't even share the same feelings.

But sometimes, it's best not to expect anything in return, because it hurts to think about ourselves all the time.

The fact that we don't get what we expected or wanted in return, is also another thing that is making us suffer.

Love, and expect nothing in return.

That's unconditional love.

That's true love.

It would be rare to find people who actually share love with each other, without forcing the other to give some... or to give more... or to give less.

It's just that way, it's abstract, and it shouldn't be measured.

It is felt sincerely by the soul, not imagined.

It is embraced, not taken for granted.

If we haven't found someone willing to be with us forever, perhaps they aren't the right people.

With everything, there's always a reason.

Either they're not the right ones, or there is someone out there that will be especially for you.

Don't just seek and keep, focus on being the right person.
