That feeling of solitude. The recognition of your lone self, separate to the world. The enclosed atmosphere that encompasses everything you are, where thoughts roam sometimes gently sometimes wildly. And when you focus on that space, when you withdraw from the present environment, into the depths of your being, you see the world as it truly is, rather than what it seems to be. You see it as a place filled with people just like yourself, going through similar things and thinking and feeling just like you do. When you realise you have all the people around you, and yet still you have no one. Nothing can change the fact that we are all alone, very alone. Alone in our minds. That one place only you can enter, the place you constantly try to run from. The silence of that place is so overbearing that we strive to find a noise to fill it, the noise we find in people.
I have that feeling. That feeling of solitude.
Except that I don't run from it.
I explore it.
Have you ever felt so lonely you believed there was nothing left for you?
Stashed away, merely forgotten. I mean you could cry and cry, yet no one would hear you. At least no one you truly once loved.
Being yourself can be detrimental to others happiness, and so you down play who you are. You devalue your beliefs, your morals fall short and that hollow rock turns into your Mirror.
Do you matter anymore?
Would anyone care if you simply disappeared?
Could you find your way out of the darkness?
Look Closer is one of my favourite quotes and so I'll use it as a guide to understanding the complex characters you're about to meet.
