We can often find ourselves isolated and alone through a many number of circumstances. Regardless what these circumstances are, because, there are as many as there are different people in this world, we can find ourselves in a dark place wondering where the light may come, if it will come at all.
We see on the news how human beings treat each other in our world today and it sickens us to our very core yet there are hidden tragedies of people facing turmoil alone, often without help or guidance on how to resolve their demons. The list is endless but from eating disorders, self harm, bullying, depression, substance abuse and unfortunately the list goes on and on. We call ourselves civilized but often society turns its back on people, blames them for their problems or simply walks past them consumed with their own daily troubles of paying bills and meeting deadlines.
I have been spending a lot of time over the last year exploring various issues and almost started a non-profit in the Middle East for helping parents and children understand or find information about what to do when a child is bullied, as I felt not enough was being done.
I know, it is not going to change the world, but I only needed to change one child’s world for all the effort to be worthwhile. Unfortunately I returned back to the UK before being able to see it through although it is still something I plan to do. However, what I found in the UK seemed to only highlight the amount of troubles facing people in our world.
One thing I have found in all my research is that there are many incredibly brave people, some children, creating blogs that are trying to share their experiences in the hope that they come to terms with what they are going through, but most importantly that someone out there may see a post, a blog or a word that truly does connect and they do not feel so isolated, so alone and even so abandoned. From deep heartfelt messages, quotes and even incredible illustrations show a glimpse of the pain in people’s lives, these people are what you might call ‘real comic book heroes in a digital world.’
So, whatever you are facing, don’t give up, don’t sleep thinking no one cares because there are many people in this world who care about you. More importantly don’t blame yourself for anything that has happened as we all carry baggage with us through life and it defines who you are, the good, the bad and the ugly. Those that love you will accept that, it doesn’t matter about the ones that don’t. Just search for whatever you are going through online, I guarantee you will find help and importantly not be alone through the journey you are on.
