The World Is Blue.

I will always be extremely grateful to God that I do not look like what I go through. A vast number of us can relate to this. I think that's why primary needs are at the forefront of life because it protects you and shields you from the world. It's like a shiny book cover hiding grime content.

The world right now is sad, depressing, and lonely, and the majority of us can resonate with this. It often feels like we move from one bad day to another. The heart is always heavy and we always feel weighed down. The hunt to find something to relieve the heart but It's a far-fetched thought, and even when you do find it, it lasts like a millisecond. Oftentimes we find ourselves wishing we had very generic problems and not the ones that plague us.

Every waking day, the craving for peace, happiness, love, and stability becomes more intense and the sad part is it never comes and the inability to get that leaves us in a sort of war with our emotions. You feel so alone, but nobody ever knows how hard and how lonely you are because of your shiny cover. It is just a facade you put out to appear strong to the world.

These days I find myself asking, is acting strong and pretending to be okay the way to help ourselves leave this headspace we find ourselves in, but at the same time, talking to people about your problems doesn't help as well cause you'd be surprised that a handful of us are going through this downtime. It even feels like a competition of who is having it worse when you try to open up.

We are experiencing a serious wave of pandemics and no I'm not talking about diseases but declining mental health. It's not regarded or talked about a lot because it's not a communicable disease. The number of people having suicidal thoughts would shock you, or not so much, sometimes you wish you had that kind of courage.

The world is blue literally and figuratively.
