Cared

Dear xxx,

It is not uncommon to feel left out or uncared for. Especially when you don't have your usual strength or when the people you usually interact with are in their own worlds.

I am the kind of person who can get extremely interactive with people and at times I give off the aura of a recluse. What I'm trying to say is that with people like me, there are times when you are surrounded and pampered and engaged and at other times, people are around but not involved in your life. I wouldn't encourage the chain of thought that says, "It's okay to be alone without the usual people around. It's okay not to rely." I discourage this because if you're feeling it, you NEED the company. We usually don't figure this out in our lives (hence, building our circle in such a way that you will have someone to rely on till we die - in most cases, a spouse or a partner) and I happened to stumble on it during my travels. I wish you fond it in your own peace , but I'll tell you anyway: it is not easy to be with yourself. And you wanna know why? It's because we don't know how beautiful, strong or characteristic we are. And I tell you this for sure, when you once understand your true beauty, you'll be enchanted by it. You will enjoy exploring your depths every moment you are left without the company of others. You push your limits on the outside, yet you do not explore within. I hope you do. Then you will find that solitude can be truly amazing. When you crave for company no more, you shall not even notice that you are by yourself. I'm not saying here that we let go of our circles or relations. I'm saying that we learn to enjoy being by ourselves too. The company we miss most or need is that of ourselves. You may think I'm rambling, and it's quite alright. Because I had to tell you this. What you do with it is your pot of gold.

Happy Exploration!

May Peace Dwell in Your Heart.

P.S. I hope you become "I, me and myself" in those moments of solitude. Not in a selfish way of course, but in a self-exploratory, soul-searching, I-am-beautiful kind of way.
