To know is to begin to understand....

To know is to begin to understand.... There is a Demon inside, all this anger and I want to rage. I sometimes I feel like Jekyll and Hyde. We all have that storm within us and I am no different. It is in how we handle that storm that makes us who we are on the outside. I choose to handle it with quiet aplomb. There are things that quiet the storm naturally and I do my best to allow myself those pleasures when I can. However that is not often enough to keep the monster at bay all the time. Would it ever really be enough if it was? No one looks at someone they see even on a daily basis and sees the battles that we are all fighting. I look at everyone and wonder what personal struggles are they going through and is there a way I can help them or learn from them? Unfortunately more often than not, I let them pass by me without saying a word. Inside I am screaming and reaching out to them, “Are you the same as me?” Is there anyone reaching back? All during this most people only see on the outside the person I want to present to them. This is how we all cope with the world. There are many that battle depression and other issues and no one is even aware. Those that do this have gotten extremely talented at hiding in plain sight. I am not saying that is my battle or storm, but I can relate because on a level, one of many, I have dealt with depression in the past. So when you look at me, look below the surface, there is more to me than what meets your eye. When I look at you, I am looking to see what you are hiding, I want to help! I want you to know that I may not have the answers, but I am riding my own tumultuous ship amid the storm. I can understand if you let me. So as I walk through life, I look for those little things that can quiet the storm, if only for a short time. Whether it be friendship, sitting by the sea, reading a book or listening to music among other things. If you need me you only have to ask, I will do what is within my power to help. See me and know that my storm still rages even if you cannot see the waves crashing on my soul. |

People have to deal with their depression before they reach out for attachment. Let's use your analogy of ships. When two ships are riding a tumultuous ocean, binding them together isn't good for either ship. When one ship is riding a tumultuous ocean and the other ship is sailing along on calm waters, binding these to together won't be at all good for the calm vessel. These storm rattled vessels, hollering to each other , "Are you the same as me", is pointless. They should be minding their own ship, patching the holes, binding the main sail, and when they reach calm waters, then hail other ships. You're a good ship, but until you have your own ship in calm waters, you can't help other ships.
