Lost

Stepping Through the Flames

     Sometimes I forget who I am and who I want to be. I get lost in the little bits of life that don't mean anything to me. Yeah I know I'm supposed to enjoy the little things, but I find them pointless and I really don't feel bad that I'm saying this.

     I wanted to start this blog for those who feel lost and alone. I admit that what I write is depressing, but that's only because it's the truth. The truth isn't sugar-coated, happy stories; it's the cold hard truth. So for those are still reading I'm glad you finally want to acknowledge that the truth isn't pretty.

     Here's a story about a little kid who realized that life isn't always a happy-ending book. This kids' name is Dakota, Dakota loved being outside, but Dakota's dad was very strict and didn't like Dakota being outside. One day Dakota went to his/her mom to ask if he/she could go outside, mom said yes, but dad heard and said no. Before Dakota could leave the room her/his dad hit his/her mom and didn't stop. Little Dakota started to cry and ran out of the room afraid. Dakota's happy world crumbled after seeing that and he/she became very depressed. As Dakota grew up he/she became very scared of the world and people. Afraid of getting hurt meant that Dakota had to keep people at distance so she would be safe.  It wasn't enough for the poor soul, he/she had grown up so entrusting that he/she was to afraid to let anyone be close to him/her. She/he spent a lot of time alone, unhappy, and afraid. The end.

    Many people witness something that becomes life altering, and it's not always abuse. Murder, abuse, drinking, drugs, parents separating, and many more things can cause people to become someone that nobody can recognize. That's how life is, if you don't have a "textbook" "stable" environment to grow in, then you will most likely fall victim to change that isn't usually beneficial. Sometimes in rare moments people will be able to push from bad situations and grow to be the strongest people that they possibly can.
