They always say, "Don't worry, keep holding on, it gets better." But..they never say when. They say, "Things get worse before they get better." But..they never say how bad. How do they know? They couldn't have experienced every problem ever.

Have you ever confided in someone who said that you can trust them so then you let walls down a wee bit and let them in? Did they leave you after and never talk to you again?

Have you ever been in a room full of people, people that are your friends and family and feel alone? And feel like they don't know the real you? Is it because you don't show the real you in fear that they will look down at you? Is it because you're scared to not have any friends after you tell them?

Do you bottle up your emotions? Do you feel like a lost cause-that will never be fixed? Do you try to give your life purpose everyday by trying to help everyone and are conscious of everyone else's feelings they portray? Do you listen to their problems-no matter how small-and try to help? To give advice or a shoulder to cry on? To be that one friend everyone goes to when they need to vent?

Do you wish desperately to find someone to understand?

"There will come a time when all of us are dead. All of us. There will come a time when there are no human beings remaining to remember that anyone ever existed or that our species ever did anything. There will be no one left to remember Aristotle or Cleopatra, let alone you. Everything that we did and built and wrote and thought and discovered will be forgotten and all of this will have been for naught. Maybe that time is coming soon and maybe it is millions of years away, but even if we survive the collapse of our sun, we will not survive forever. There was a time before organisms experienced consciousness, and there will be a time after. And if the inevitability of human oblivion worries you, I encourage you to ignore it. God knows that's what everyone else does." -TFIOS
