From my bed, I peer through the window, observing the night lights and the bustling chaos of cars below. The silence envelops me, a strange and unsettling sensation, unlike any I've felt before. As morning approaches, the room gradually brightens, accompanied by the cheerful chirping of birds. Yet, amidst this transition from night to day, a question lingers in my mind: what did I do all night? I lie on my back, unable to divert my gaze from the ceiling, lost in my own thoughts.
On my right side, I feel a sense of unease, as if something is lurking in the shadows. To my left, a heavy weight presses down on my chest, making it difficult to breathe. Restlessness consumes me, causing me to fidget incessantly. As I lie on my stomach, an unsettling feeling washes over me, heightened by the rapid thumping of my heart. Despite my efforts, sleep eludes me. I yawn repeatedly, feeling exhausted.
It's hard to make sense of it all. I haven't slept in days, and the redness in my eyes serves as a stark reminder of it. With a heavy sigh, I said the words, "Good morning," after a night of no sleep. My tiredness follows, but I try to greet the new day with whatever strength I have left.

In the delicate balance of human relationships, caring can sometimes be a double-edged sword. It's a natural inclination to want to support and uplift those around us, yet often our gestures of kindness can be met with unexpected resistance or even hostility. This paradox of caring is a perplexing aspect of human interaction, leaving us questioning the boundaries of empathy and understanding. At the core of our desire to care lies a genuine intention to bring happiness and alleviate pain. We extend our hand in friendship, offer a shoulder to lean on, and lend an ear to listen. However, when our gestures of goodwill are met with anger or rejection, it can leave us feeling bewildered and disheartened. It's a reminder that despite our best intentions, we cannot control how others perceive or respond to our acts of kindness.
The frustration deepens when this pattern repeats itself, as if caught in an endless loop of misunderstanding. We wonder if it's something we're doing wrong, if our efforts are somehow misplaced or misguided. Yet, even in the face of uncertainty, the impulse to care persists, fueled by an innate sense of compassion and empathy.Navigating the complexities of caring requires patience and resilience. It's about learning to accept that despite our best efforts, we may not always receive the gratitude or appreciation we hope for. But perhaps therein lies the true test of our compassion – to continue extending kindness and support, even in the absence of acknowledgment or reciprocation.
Ultimately, the act of caring is not about expecting something in return, but rather about giving selflessly from the heart. It's about embracing the vulnerability that comes with reaching out to others, knowing that despite the risks, the ability to connect and empathize is what makes us truly human.

A looping tape
your whispers remain
Reality blurs
the lines are strained
If death means reunion
I'd welcome its boon
I long for your hug
the solace of the moon
Lost in the void
where have you flown?
I talk to your ghost
a memory prone
Stuck in this cycle
a promise I'll defend
To celebrate your birthday
until the very end

Today feels strange, like I'm floating in a fog. It's hard to focus on anything, and even my own thoughts seem distant, like echoes in an empty room. Emotions come and go like waves, but they don't feel real, just like distant echoes of something I used to feel. There's a heaviness in my chest that won't go away, a feeling of emptiness that I can't shake off no matter how hard I try. I try to remember things, but it's like trying to catch smoke with my bare hands. Memories slip through my fingers, leaving me feeling even more lost than before. It's like I'm watching my life through a thick glass window, disconnected from everything happening around me. I know I should feel something, anything, but all I feel is this overwhelming sense of nothingness.
Simple tasks become monumental challenges, each step forward feeling like a Herculean effort. In this state of detachment, even the most familiar surroundings seem alien, like I'm navigating through a foreign landscape with no map to guide me. As the days pass, the weight bears down on me with increasing intensity, like an invisible burden I can never shake off. It's a constant struggle to stay present, to anchor myself in the here and now when everything feels ephemeral and fleeting. The passage of time becomes distorted, stretching and contracting in unpredictable ways, leaving me disoriented and disconcerted.
I wish I could explain it to someone, but how do you put into words something that feels so abstract? All I know is that right now, in this moment, I feel like I'm drifting further and further away from myself, and I don't know how to find my way back.

Empathy, a relentless tug-of-war between light and shadow, leaves me ensnared in its melancholy embrace. Amidst its tender connections, I find myself drowning in the weight of others' pain, unable to discern where their sorrow ends and mine begins. The echo of "I feel you" rings hollow in my heart, a haunting reminder of the depths of shared suffering. Each emotion, a heavy burden I carry, dragging me deeper into the abyss of despair. Yet, as I navigate this desolate landscape of empathy, I realize the futility of seeking solace in shared sorrow. For in this endless cycle of empathy, I am left stranded, a solitary figure engulfed in a sea of collective agony, longing for the respite that may never come.
“You cannot make everyone think and feel as deeply as you do. This is your tragedy … because you understand them, and they do not understand you.”
— Daniel Saint

I try to talk, to understand, to stay,
But it feels like my words fade away
I pour my heart out explain it all
But still it seems I hit a wall
I'm left feeling like I'm nothing at all
Never understood
I stumble and fall
It's my fault I know for loving too much
Becoming a burden, a heavy crutch
Now I'm all alone hiding away
No more words to hurt, nothing to say
— David Foster Wallace , from “The Pale King.”

Today I opened my notes to write
To ease the weight upon my mind
But found I was a feather light
Anxious, numb, and silently confined
How do I convey this disconnection to others?
I existed outside my own body
My feet not tethered to the earth
Ears deaf to the melody of life
Heart devoid of longing
Eyes blind to any screen a front
I stood there, a hollow vessel
Empty, a word unspoken, yet felt
No remnants linger, no hope to rekindle
No desire to embrace anew
Acceptance whispers, "It's only fair"
The end of all, the end of I
As time flows on I'm frozen, stuck,
In a world where words are lost,
A silent scream, a quiet muck,
A feather, alone, and tossed
- Hanif Kureishi, from "The Buddha of Suburbia"
#emptiness#dissociation#numbness#hopelessness#alone with my thoughts#light as a feather#the end of I

In the haze of confusion
Questions linger, seeking clarity
Is this turmoil new, or ancient as time?
A soul adrift, disconnected
Body trembles, seeking solace
Struggling for recognition
In the absence of emotion
A vacant facade remains
No tears, no screams
Just silence, a void
A strange language of emptiness,
Where nothing feels familiar

Again it comes like an endless tide
Thinking till exhaustion, nowhere to hide
Eyes shut tight, body yearns for sleep
Suddenly awake, the morning's first peep
Heart pounding, hands trembling in fear
Craving a hug but no one near
Alone in the bathroom locked away
Face in the mirror with eyes red and teary
"Stay calm," I whisper, trying to believe
But the panic grows refusing to leave
I tell myself, "It'll pass soon"
But the nightmares scream, filling the room

With each palpitating pulse, numbness reigns
Ground beneath a foreign land, estranged
Blood spills, a tale untold upon the floor
Burns, a scalding sign, life's whispered lore.

In her world, beauty reigns supreme
Positivity and strength, her esteemed theme
"Yes, I am," she admits without a doubt
But darkness too she's known about
Breathless nights and anxious fears
Moments of sorrow, hidden tears
The illusion of suffering, some have none
Yet each pain to its bearer weighs a ton
Her suffering, though silent is real
Days of distance no one can feel
Then anger brews tears break free
No barriers strong enough she's forced to see
But with the dawn she rises again
Washes her face hides the strain
They say, "Your life's sorted," unaware
Of the depths within, of the burdens she bears
She chooses to be different to stand apart
Rather than follow the crowd's heartless chart
For in her uniqueness she finds her grace
A soul untouched by society's embrace

When sharing woes, advice we give
Echoes of our past, how we used to live
I understand your urge to aid
Seeing yourself in the path they've laid
Yet pause, don't assume, don't impose
Let them speak, let empathy disclose
They may seek solace in being heard
Their emotions, like a song, softly stirred
Their reactions may not align with yours
Each soul's journey its own unique course
Let's validate their feelings, their cries
Create a haven where trust never dies
No judgment here just open arms
A sanctuary free from alarms
If advice they seek they'll surely inquire
Until then let empathy inspire
In the mire of their despair sit still
Feel their anguish their every quill
Forcing them out won't pave the way
They'll rise when ready come what may
In their minds they hold the keys
Though action's elusive they'll find the ease
Just stay, bear witness to the change
In the dance of life, it's a timeless exchange
“Everyone tells you what to do and what’s good for you. They don’t want you to find your own answers. They want you to believe theirs.”
— Dan Millman, Way of the Peaceful Warrior
#listen#empathy#don’t advice until asked#be there#safe space#no judgment zone#hear their feeling don’t invalidate them

In shadows I linger some say too intense
But I stay not to manipulate or to fence
I understand if you see it that way
But trust me my intentions are here to stay
Kindness overwhelms, Im aware of your plight
But my true intents hide in plain sight
Would you lend an ear, truly care to see
The depths of my sincerity?
I see you whole, flaws and growth combined
Yet I choose not to let them define
Instead, I seek to refine and mend
I'll be the warmth in your darkest night
Patient, supportive, holding you tight
It took courage to step into this role
But I'm committed to nurturing your soul
#forgiveness#poem#true kindness#it’s not a manipulation#I wish I could tell#I cared I always will choose to care

In the realm of self-awareness we dwell alone
Yet often neglect it, in our comfort zone
Accepting our flaws seeking betterment's scope
Yet, in our journey, we sometimes hurt those we hope
Perception varies, like day and night
A painful truth, yet a beautiful sight
Each moment lived is a first-time affair
We're all new with burdens to bear
Moving on from what we once deemed right
Discovering truths in the darkest of night
Right and wrong, a mere illusion's game
A clash of perspectives, never to tame
Communicate your heart, let your feelings unfold
But if change isn't welcomed let them hold
Admit, you can't mend every broken seam
Grant them space, to grow, to dream
Be the pillar of support, devoid of hate's plight
For those already hurting, don't add to their fight
Embrace goodness despite the rain's endless drum
For seasons change when their time has come
“People never learn anything by being told. They have to find out for themselves.”
— Paulo Coelho
#self awareness#acceptance#simple truths#different perspectives#can’t fix all#let them grow#don’t add on trouble to those who already struggle

In a world where many are unkind
I'll be the one who's always inclined
I'll show love, not to get it in return
But to brighten up this world's concerns
While others rush in a rat's chase
I'll spread kindness leaving a trace
Even if they win they're still lost in the end
But with kindness, hearts can truly mend
So let me be the light in the night
Spreading kindness with all my might
In this world of chaos and strife
I'll stand by kindness, the essence of life
“To be kind is more important than to be right. Many times, what people need is not a brilliant mind that speaks but a special heart that listens.”
— F. Scott Fitzgerald

Doit. Do cross oceans for people. Love all people. No conditions attached. No wondering whether or not they are worthy. Cross oceans, climb mountains. Life and love isn't about what you gain, it's about what you give!
Give what u can and expect nothing cause ur the start point to change. Give urself and share some too we are all struggling why make it tough for others to get thru.
Wish people understood that ❤️🩹
Stop giving all of you because no one deserves to see your 100 other than yourself and the ones who give their 100 as well.
k.b. // get your 100
