Sharing.

Okay, let's get one thing straight before I get started: Adolescence has its ups and downs. It sucks in epic proportions but rocks likewise too.

But the thing is, when everything is going good, no one really thinks about anything. All's good? Thumbs up. Go with the flow. Yipee yay.

Its when we hit a low, no matter the depth, we start using that brain of ours. And inadvertedly start digging deeper. Sometimes, we don't dig too much. Sometimes, we start with a pit and end up with Tartaros.

But thinking really isn't the major player here. Thinking about things is a necessary evil. It helps you sort out what's causing the low. But also possibly hurts you because you realise that what's hurting you is something you either cannot do anything about, something you need or something you cherish. And THAT, sucks.

Okay. You've sorted out what's hurting you. And let's just consider fixing it is tough or not possible as of that moment. What do you do? You start looking for people you can rely on. Someone who can understand you. Relate. Help. Be there. Comfort you. All in all, a friend.

But that's the thing, friends are hard to come by in this age. And true friends even harder. And that's so terribly sad. Maybe you've found your true friend. Someone who will always be there no matter what. But there's still them who haven't. Who don't have anyone to share their fears with. Their doubts. Their hurt. Their feelings.

Yes, you might have a whooping 1k friends on Facebook. Maybe you're part of a 10-man circle. But does that mean you have a person whom you can confide everything intp? A security vault for you?
If yes, you got off lucky, dude.
If no, then what?

Honestly, I don't know. But I know that it sucks to be there. To not have a person whom you can sit with and talk about anything and you know that they'll make you smile regardless of how you were feeling.
And no matter how much I value all my friends right now, most of them are virtual entities in my life. People behind a screen.
And sometimes, you just cannot text away everything.

I'm just saying, I can relate.
But it'd be nice if everyone found someone like that. And you, o gracious reader of mine, if you don't have someone like that, do yourself a favour and find someone like that. Letting it all out makes you feel light. Makes you feel like a feather.
(Although I still felt like a baby elephant after letting out. Which is trying to say something..I think.)

So, from one adolescence stricken human to another, go out and find that homo sapien.
But if you can't, might as well speak to that cat you have on your lap.
(I'm pretty sure they don't care but hey, that's what cats are for. Unconditional indifference.)

And, if you find my writing sloppy, please excuse me on grounds of having writer's block for a while now.

Okay, you can go back to kitten-picture surfing.
Yeah, now.
