Love for the Loveless

One of the few things I hate talking about is my life and my problems. I don’t like to ask people about theirs mainly because I believe it to be their own business.

I don’t mind it when you open up about yours to me. I just try to be the good friend and listen. Me? I don’t like to bother people with my rants and fears and doubts. I always just say to myself, why would they care? it’s not their problem. I’ll just be bothering them. I had to learn this the hard way.

Not too long ago, I suffered a deep depression. Days would pass and I wouldn’t eat. I would just stay in my room and cry. The depression immobilized me. I deactivated my fb account, ignored my cellphone and just stayed at home for a week. wallowing in self pity, and playing video games for 14 hours straight. Those days were dark. everyday, my heart felt like it was breaking in a million tiny pieces, and more than once, I thought about ending my life.

Of course, I knew what i had to do. i needed to talk to someone. But then, when I did, The person didn’t even seem to care. Didn’t even bother to ask how I was the next few days. The burden I felt in my heart grew even more. I felt terrible. Right then and there, I swore that if a friend needed me, I would always do my best to not only listen, but to give advice and words of comfort. For I know how it feels to be let down by the people you care about the most.

Give love to the loveless. Most of the time, they hide behind their smiles to prevent the world from noticing the pain and suffering just beneath the surface. The truth is, people are being eaten alive by the monsters residing within them. These monsters may not have physical forms, but their forms in our heads will eventually lead us to our deaths. This is the cause for most suicides.

That is why, I am urging everyone to pay attention to your friends and family. Be aware of their behavior. Let’s try to save them from the darkness that is their soul. Don’t let another person lose hope in humanity. let them love. It’s the light that can fend off the darkness.
