Deeply flawed

Distant

I thought that walking forward was possible, even with my rose-tinted glasses on, but days like these make me realize that progress can be challenging. Even if it’s one step at a time, I cannot shy away from the harsh realities. It’s incredibly disheartening, and I often feel powerless when I see these situations. However, after allowing myself to embrace the sadness that comes with it, something changes.

When I see the vulnerability of others in these trying times, it somehow makes me feel less empty, more whole, more connected to the world around me. It’s easier and fun to feel this connection when the sun is shining, and people are in high spirits, but sometimes, I find it difficult to conceal my sadness when I unexpectedly stumble upon distressing news.

I also experience a similar feeling in the company of others when I notice someone is feeling sad (or any other unpleasant emotion for that matter), and it doesn’t feel like my place to console them. In those moments, I tend to withdraw, appear distant and avoid making them uncomfortable, because they might not even be aware of these emotions. To stop worrying about them, I convince myself that I’m just projecting and that they are fine, because they told me they are.
