Frustration
This is so confusing and frustrating. I want to find someone to love, I need someone to be with, but I've lost all faith in love. I'm starting to wonder if I'm wrong in thinking that people are, at heart, good. Everyone seems so narrow and self-centered sometimes, but I just can't bring myself to think the whole world is really like that. That's one of the reasons I want to meet new people, because right now the people with vision and compassion seem so few and far between. I'm not talking about how some people are selfish and put themselves before others, I'm talking about how some people just don't seem to really comprehend the fact that others are real, that others have thoughts and feelings and minds and lives of their own. How some people act like no one else matters, that anything outside of their own narrow experiences and views is meaningless. It just worries me that I seem to find these people so easily. I know in my heart that humanity is by nature caring, and I have seen so much to remind me that people are basically good, it just feels like it's been so long since I've had a reminder like that. More than that though, it just frustrates me thinking about all the people who have let bitterness and anger and hatred turn them into something horrible, and knowing I can't possibly help them all. Especially when I think of the ones that I've had the chance to help and failed. Failing myself is nothing, but failing someone else like that just makes me feel so useless. I don't think I'll ever be able to get used to that, but I'm not letting it stop me, I just have to try hard to remind myself that I gave it my best, and for some cases, remind myself that when people refuse to be helped, I can't keep beating myself up about it, I need to just move on and hope that those people will open up and seek the help they need some day. I don't mean that to sound self-righteous, I don't want to make anyone do anything, I just want everyone to find the strength to be their true selves, and to open themselves to the world, so they can understand that reality is more than what they perceive. I want people to truly understand, deep in their hearts, that they are not alone, and that when it all comes down to it all we as people really have is each other.
