Too Little Too Late

Breaking barriers is always hard, because in some way it affects someone or something.


Recently I have been subjected to hearing such struggles, but knowing that these struggles are preventable is even harder to hear of. I wonder whether people realise what is happening when someone or something they love is hiding raw emotions and is finding life hard to deal with.


Does empathy exist anymore?


I guess that is what makes life beautiful, structuring experiences and advice after the fact and passing it on.


When you are placed in a room full of people, do you always feel the need to judge what they look like or how they project themselves to others? Its natural, but when you are struggling with issues nobody knows about and feeling low, and you are usually the life of the party; do you not get paranoid wondering what people are saying about you? Same goes for the opposite-you are the quiet achiever, not as popular and when you show signs of vulnerability-do you get even more shit said about you? 


For example, in a high school classroom, so many dynamics. You stare around the room, sometimes happy, sometimes bummed and sometimes confused. One person may smell and look terrible, a small group of girls are gorgeous and either you are wishing to be like them or the guys want to get laid, another small group are paying attention to the lesson and then theres one or two drawing shit in their books and then theres you-alone or with your friend/s. You could be a mix of the above or just the awkward bunch doing whatever. 
I can tell you now, everyone in that room is wishing they were someone in that room, just not themselves. 


No matter who you are, someone will always hate on you for something-just some more than others.


I found that taking solace in the fact that the 'popular' kids have just as many issues as you do, and they are like that for a reason. They didnt get attention at home so they crave it in other social occasions or it can be serious, for example, they could have deep family issues.


Why do we always wait until its too late to fix a bad situation? 


I found this out in a relationship I had once, making mistakes over and over, between both of us. Blame thrown back and forth, no trust, no love. Waited until the boiling point to get things out in the open and suffered the consequences.


Do we all crave this kind of attention or is it just to feel some kind of rawness? 


We all should never wait to fix something, its only going to be more broken than it was.


Theres a reason why that person next to you who looks so happy and is looking at you weird, they know. Take notice. 
You dont have to take advice, but you need to take notice.


Not Just For Yours Truly...
