I was talking to one of my childhood friends from Africa and you know we were just checking up on each other seeing how each other is doing and stuff. I told her I wasn’t doing too bad and what she said after stood with me. She was like all we can do is cope and honestly she wasn't wrong. No matter what we’re going through or how hard life is we just have to keep going because life still goes on even if you’re feeling good or not. I talk to people at work all the time who sound defeated and may be going through it but they always say I’ll be good. Some have suicidal thoughts and it’s hard for them to wake up every day but that doesn’t matter to be honest. Rent is still due on the 1st or you still have to go to work in order to provide for yourself and others.
No one is going to stop their life or what they are doing to come and take care of you because they have their own things to worry about. It doesn’t necessarily mean they don’t care which may be the case at times but people have their own things going on. All you can do is keep going and just cope with what’s going on because if you don’t life isn't going to hand you any freebies. I have talked to a lot of people who talk about society and just how nobody cares nowadays and some aspects of that is honestly true. No matter what you have going on or what you’re going through, nobody really cares. People are worried about their own things and have their own struggles they go through daily and don’t really have time to be worried about what someone else is going through.
I think that adds a lot to the individualistic society that we are. It’s about us and how we can better ourselves that the thought of others is not even on our minds. There are also some people I know who have given too much and cared about others but when they need those people they are no where to be found. Of course it is important in life to not expect anything from anyone and give without expecting anything back, but at times of need people want to know that the people they helped or are always there for also have their backs.
In these instances them not getting the same thing back changes who they are and makes them more selfish and only worry about themselves. I guess what I'm trying to say is there's nothing wrong with being there for people and being supportive when it is needed but you have to motivate yourself at times to keep going. There may be times where you may be the only one able to keep yourself from falling and that is okay. We weren't given this life to depend on others and for the ones that have people they can trust and depend on to be there for them, appreciate those people.
