Does anyone ever have that heart wrenching moment when you lose your phone or, in a more drastic situation, someone breaks your heart unexpectedly? Then you go out ranting to the whole world about it with the hope of receiving some type sympathy, pity, or simply just a shoulder to cry on. Well sorry but the obvious truth is that no one really cares. Yes, I know its blatantly rude of me to say and even more upsetting to know, but its the truth. No one really cares...unless its them. Unless they are the ones in pain, their feelings are more apathetic than Eeyore on depressants. So in that heart stopping moment of frantically looking around for your phone, don't expect others to be half as concerned as you are, because they aren't gonna be half as interested for the simple fact its not thier phone thats lost. Unless it has something to with them or they are involved in any type of way you can just forget it. Or how about that moment when you call your best friend or someone in general to comfort your broken heart due to the typical teenage break up of the millenium. The fact that whoever you're calling isn't in the same situation is all that they are worried about. I mean don't get me wrong, there are people out there that truly want to support you and be there for you but all in all, you can't expect everybody to care. What can they honestly do? Snap their fingers, say abracadabra and POOF! all your problems gone? No...not really, I mean words can only do so much for a person until you yourself have to get up on your own and do something about it. You can't honestly say that you haven't been in a situation where you have thought to yourself "Man, I'm kind of glad that isn't me." because you know what at the end of the day its essentially every man for themselves and the thoughts and feelings of others don't really matter, especially if they have problems of their own to deal with.
I don't honestly write pieces like this with a tone of negativity, and don't mean to come off as if no one cares about you, but I guess the true moral of this is: You can't always rely on the comfort of others to help you get through tough times. Sometimes its going to take your own strength, faith, and determination to overcome obstacles in life. Not everyone can be on standby with a Kleenex and a big bear hug.
