I once heard the lyric:
'It's hard to be courageous in a world that doesn't care for you.'
Lately, I've discovered how true this statement is. Life is hard, life is unfair and from my experiences, life will almost always disappoint you. Now I know that sounds terribly depressing and you're probably all groaning and thinking 'then what's the fucking point?'. Trust me, if I knew the answer to that question, I'd be a millionaire by now.
I was lying in my bed last night, plunged into the darkness and I was feeling lonely and lost and completely stupid. And when you're in this state, you do truly begin to wonder about the world and whether it does truly care for you. Really, it doesn't.
There is one time in your life when it will. The world will care for you in your fifteen minutes of fame. But once those fifteen minutes are over you are thrown back to the hungry wolves and left to struggling to fend for yourself and trying to make it through another day. And when you're struggling,that's when you realize you need to find a way out. You could befriend a wolf, become a wolf or hide/run away from them. But what keeps you going, is hope and knowing. You know and/or you hope, that you will make it through.
And although the world may not care, if you take that step and be courageous you will find out that there is a light at the end of the tunnel. You just need to find a way to turn it on. I somehow managed to turn mine on by confiding in a friend, who at the same time is a complete stranger. But at 2am, they were there for me and somewhere in the darkness, a light turned on for me and it gave me hope that I was able to go on. And although the light turned on, and the world opened up to me, it still didn't care, but neither did I.
All that matters is just existing and knowing that someone out there does care and will be there to help you turn the light on, if needs be. And even if their advice isn't the greatest, you could always take a trip to IKEA and buy a night light and turn it on yourself.
People won't always be there for you, and that's when you learn that sometimes, you just gotta take care of yourself.

I couldn't agree with this more. Sometimes you are the only one you can rely on & the only one that can help.
I like this post, very true! There is always SOMEONE out there who cares for you, which is nice to know :) but you do have to remember that it's not good to rely on people, since in the end you can only truly rely on yourself. & that's not such a bad thing either.
Bugger, I spelt my name wrong! What a dumbass... :P
