Something really do happen that we don't seems to expect, when it happens it seems unbelievable but it is the reality and one thought that keeps coming to my mind is how the people who are closest to us can end up feeling like strangers. To me It's sounds strange, but it’s true. The people we eat with, talk to every day, even sleep under same roof with sometimes they don’t really know us at all.
There was a time I myself that I was going through a very tough period. Though I was surrounded by people,that are family and friends, yet I felt completely alone. The ones I expected to notice my pain didn’t see anything. They still laughed, talked and acted normal, while inside me I was breaking down. That’s when I realized that closeness by distance doesn’t always mean closeness by heart.
In life, we do meet people who will understand us deeply and completely, even without saying much. And we also meet some that no matter how long they’ve known us, they still don’t get us. Sometimes, it’s not their fault. Everyone is busy with their own struggle. Some people are just not sensitive enough to notice when you need help or love. But it pains and hurts when it comes from those we hold close.
The unexpected situation at times occur, when a stranger can sometimes show you more care and understanding than people you grew up with. I’ve had moments where someone I barely knew checked on me more than people I’ve known for years. Life can be like that.
What I’ve learnt is that not everyone close to you will truly connect with your heart. Some are just around for the good times, some just out of habit. But don’t let that make you bitter. Appreciate the few who really see you the ones who ask “Are you okay?” and mean it.
At the end of the day, real connection is not about blood or distance, it’s about heart.
