9 and 10 March 2012

Feeling trapped. Something I think we all fear. The idea isn't as scary as the state; although, circumstances can change in an instant. I often wonder how truly protective we are of ourselves. Checking to make sure that we're doing what's best for ourselves...not what's best for our friends, family, and the rest of the people around us. I know that it's very difficult for me to think of doing things for myself rather than for other people. Some people would find doing things for themselves easy. I come across people everyday that do nothing but things to make themselves happy. It's somewhat aggravating...that a person can completely not care about the next. Show no compassion to help others in this world. Maybe the realization that we're all on the same ship hasn't sunk in yet? But will it ever? It's a mystery, I'll probably never know.

We are all so fragile. So easily broken yet all easily built up. It's hard to say that we're all the same when it comes to finding the cracks and escapes of life. There aren't many. We often find things that are small. Like vacations...they only last for a short amount of time. Then we're returned to the rut of everyday life, to continue our normal routine. There are few of us though that continue to search for the ultimate escape of being trapped by reality...and only a sparse number of us are able to grasp it.
