START.

Art : START.

By Sakuan.

The name is Joel, and if there is one thing I have learned in the past few years that I have been alive, I am going to share it with you please take my words with a grain of salt because I might think this way but it might not work for you because we come from different backgrounds, we do things differently where I come from. It is sad that we all can’t get along peacefully but that is the reality that we have to grasp. Sometimes I cry when I think of how the world has gone astray, I tell myself that war is inevitable, small or big. For peace to come we have to start somewhere. These thoughts were thought and approved by me, these are not my action, so please don’t burst a vein trying to judge me for them, you can burst a vein for my action and not for my thoughts for I am not my thoughts.

Just start…

Just start and the rest will take care of itself, I learned that lesson not long ago, a few years back it was, and just like most lessons I learned that in hindsight. I get nervous when I am about to do a new thing, I get scared and I hate that feeling. I know I am not alone in this and I am lucky to know and understand that. There are a lot of people out there who suffer greatly because they don’t seem to grasp that concept, I was blessed to understand that little concept and it has saved my life a lot, especially in times of loneliness and sorrow. The lesson is, you are never alone, there is nothing new under the sun.

It is hard to believe this to be the case at times because there are situations where you believe no one and I mean NO ONE could ever understand what you are going through and to you that is your reality, but in the grand scheme of things, you are not the only person to go through whatever it is that you are going through. The chances of that happening are close to none, and the chances of you being the only person to be struck by lightning twice are slim considering how rare that is, but trust me it has happened to multiple people before you and it will keep on happening long after you are gone.

That one thought of loneliness is what destroys a lot of people, that feeling of thinking no one will ever understand what you are going through, on the outside that can be read in different ways, that could be seen as you being naive, that could be seen as you having an ego, that could be seen as you not being mature enough to understand what the world is, that could tell other people how much you are suffering. Always remember that you are not that unique of a person and that whatever is happening to you is only happening to you, good or bad. No matter how harsh of a reality that pill might be to swallow, it is the truth, even if I don’t say it it doesn’t mean it won’t happen so why not just say it and maybe someone will learn from it someday…

I learned this harsh reality not long ago and now I am sharing it with you hoping you will cherish the same thing that I did, I hope this helped whoever is reading, they might not be perfect words, and they might not be perfect sentences, they might not be perfect paragraphs, it might not be a perfect piece of literature but it is the reality. I hope I taught you something today, something that you will keep close to your heart for the rest of your life. Always remember no matter how hard you think it is in your head, no matter how challenging you think it is in your head, just start and then go on from there…
