Different Journeys

So the other day I was going on a run ( well at least trying to ) or more of a walk. Okay well i was

basically walking and trying to run when i found the energy which was like, never. Yuss the struggle is real. Exercising sucks.

Anyways, as I was trying to run... I noticed that many people were walking past me either with their heads down or with earphones on. NO BODY was talking to ANYONE. We were all just on the same road in our own thoughts caught up in each of our own little private worlds. By then I had completely given up on running and just settled on a slow walk now captivated by what I had noticed. People were just going silently by, some running, some walking, but each with their own mission.

And it made me think.

It made me realize that each of us are going through some sort of thing in our life, either bad or good. I don't really know, and i don't even think the people noticed me run past them, or maybe they did. But yoh, to think that each of us are going on our own little secret journey at our own pace, some with bigger obstacles than others, made me wonder. How are we all surviving?

How are we all coping with the differrent pressures that life throws at us? Like I know some people have different ways of dealing with certain things, some deal with their struggles by partaayyysss, or by alcohol, even by getting the next hottest guy or girl that comes up. I mean like...who knows? Maybe its even by eating masses of junk food ( Saying this from experience ) or by exercising! Ha I wish I could do that.

Basically, what I'm trying to say is don't you ever wonder what's really going on behind the " I'm Fines" or the "I'm Okays". From what's really going on beneath the surface?

Where people are trying to escape the horrific future of people becoming walking, living zombies, dead inside and with no life or happiness to keep them going, just the fake personas of 'okays' when people are contemplating suicide or some sort of escape from the suffocating reality of a hard, empty life.

I mean, just take a moment to ponder on that.

How can we change this? Are there any other options or solutions on how to survive?

These thoughts kept filling my mind and taking over my thoughts, and over the past few weeks I noticed that by saying encouraging quotes such as " Jesus loves you", "hang in there", "God's got you" etc can only be as beneficial if you walk this journey with them, rather than just saying empty quotes to fill the awkwardness.

And I know, I used to say things like that, and sometimes I still do, but only to make the uncomfortable awkwardness disappear. But yuss just imagine if that random person you spoke to was actually encouraged? How awesome would that be?! Wow.. Only God really knows what each and every one of us is going through, and only He could ever understand and give us the wisdom on what to say to that hurting person you see on the street or at school.

I know this topic was pretty random but I just thought I should share on what has been on my mind over the past few days. I hope you enjoy and I would also really like to hear your thoughts as well.

If you would like to contact me pleasseeeeeee do and I would absolutely love to hear from you.

Hope this was kinda entertaining :)

Love Caity.
