Is this post supposed to be about aliens? My brain didn’t
get the memo. Call me sentimental, but the first thing I think about when I
hear the question “Are we alone?” is not the possibility of life somewhere
other than our planet, but the fact that no matter how many people we are
surrounded by, we sometimes feel very alone. Sometimes we all have the feeling
that we’re misunderstood, that even though we have tons of friends and loved
ones, we will always have to fend for ourselves. When I’m upset it doesn’t
matter how many times someone says, “I know just how you feel”, I still will
not believe them. Though we may have those days were we feel all to ourselves
in a world of billions of people we are never truly alone. Everyone has someone
that loves them even if they don’t realize or feel it. I grew up knowing I was
never alone because I was raised in a Christian household, always having my
guardian angel with me as a kid. So when I am having a bad day where I just
want to strangle anyone who attempts to talk to me I remind myself that, even
though we have all felt alone, we never actually are.
This is something I can truly relate to because I also grew up in a household like yours, but there were always more days than one that I thought I would be alone and all to myself. In the end though we always have someone to go back to. No matter it be a family member, our God in spirit, or even a friend. Sometimes its hard to remember those little things that help us not be so alone.
ReplyDeleteIn my response to this question I too was a little bit confused on what they question really was leaning towards but I focused on the loneliness of the people versus our planet as well. You have a great way of explaining how many people feel to where one can understand that no one can really "relate" to someone's emotions because everyone feels in a different way. I too have those days of feeling lonely and I become a bit depressed but then I realize that I'm pushing people away by wanting to be left alone. It's a bit of a mixed up emotion but it happens to the best of us.
