Breaking

This Not So Wonderful Life

http://www.Enigma16.com
I guess compared to a lot of people, I know I don't have it so bad. In the long run, I know I can be thankful for so much stuff that I do (and do not) have. But, when you just feel like crap inside, that's not the only thing that can keep you sane and keep you content with your surroundings.

Lately, I just feel like I'm losing or breaking everything and anything around me. I have a lot of friends, but at this point, I really don't feel like I have any. Even the friends that meant a lot to me have done nothing but make me question whether it's easier to be a hermit. I really began to appreciate this guy and I'm still not sure what happened but all of a sudden, he decided he didn't feel like having me in his life anymore. He's this amazing guy, and such a sweetheart, and just "forgetting about him" isn't as easy as people on the outside make it sound. Earlier this year, one of my "friends" started dating this guy that I liked at the time, knowing I liked him. She's so fake and shallow. I, who prides myself on being genuine and introspective, lost this guy to my drama queen friend. It was easy for me to get over him because any guy who would go for a girl like that isn't my type anyways. But, when it just adds onto the long list of get over its, it's not as simple.

I somehow broke this ring I've had for over 10 years now. There's nothing special about this ring. It's just a round piece of gold with little decoration, but to me, there's something special about it that no one can understand. A week later, my chain broke. It was a gold chain with a pendel that always seemed to bring me faith and trust. And then my slippers broke. I know that's not such a big deal, but it just makes me wonder if all these things breaking may symbolize something in my life.

This may sound like just the typical life of a typical person, but I'll post more, and you'll find I am anything but typical.

Is there something larger about your life that is broken, perhaps? I'm wondering if these "little things" -- or the simple fact that you've noticed these "little things" -- could point to the fact that you've a much larger problem? What could be larger that's broken?

That's what I'm wondering myself. I'm sure there is something bigger that is broken that these material objects in a way, signify the breaking of, but I'm not sure what it is. Lately, I've found I'm starting to lose faith and hope. Maybe that's what's in a sense "breaking." I know I will not lose these completely, but right now it just feels like so much I try to believe and believe in is being challenged. I know I will continue to believe in these things, but for at least a temporary portion of time, I kind of feel them slipping away from me.
Thanks for the comments.
