A simple story for a simple mind. This isn’t really a story more like something you need to realize. There are things beyond your control that you can’t really help avoiding. Once you go down that long path there will be the shortcuts that you can’t live without. But think about them before you head down that simple jump. Is it really worth going? Are you doing this to protect something precious to you or is it to get back at something or someone? The shortest path my friend isn’t what you think it is. Once you place one toe in it you can’t turn back. It will swallow you whole until you return to that hole in your life that no one knows about. That dark depressing place that has only you in it. Where what you want is only inches away yet you can’t grab it. You want nothing else but to go back to the other place you were just at. But here’s a little secret that you don’t know about. There will be something at the end of the dark tunnel. Always that hand that lifts you up from the darkness of your life. All you need is that one thing that saves you. Just wait and continue along that terrible little shortcut that takes you away from what you wanted in the first place. Sure you might think you’re alone, but that’s normal. Sooner or later either you or the other person is going to figure out that the other is right there also waiting. The one who sees it isn’t the better nor is the one who doesn’t see it. Whichever you are, be it the one who needs saving or the one who saves, has gone down their own terrible path. Both sides has had a struggle that the other can’t understand.

But which side do you belong on? The one hides behind a face of happiness never showing any other emotion? The one who seems to have all the answers to all the problems and doesn’t seem to have a worry in the world on the outside. The one who feels the depression hitting harder and harder with every smile they give? The one who is crying behind closed doors wishing for something on the coming new day. The one who holds onto that precious thing tightly so not to lose it. The one who waits for something to happen but knows that nothing will. The one who is sitting in the dark corner balled up waiting for that hand to come to them?
