I'm tired.

I feel like I'm lost, and no one understands.  Picture someone in downtown Toronto that's lost.  Imagine if people just said the following to them and then carried on their way...

-I'm sorry to hear that you're lost. -I hope you find your way. -I was lost once, but now I'm not. -Other people are lost too. -I'm sure you'll figure it out. -You won't always be lost. -Don't worry, it gets better.

Do you see the trouble here?  All of those people are acknowledging that the person is lost, but none of them want to help that person. They aren't offering to show them the way. They don't suggest anything that actually DOES something to make the person not be lost anymore.  

But I get that. In life, when people see someone who is lost, they usually won't stop to help.  They don't want the responsibility of helping the person find their way. They don't want to get involved. It's quite rare for someone to say, "Give me your hand, and I'll lead you out of here to a place where you're not lost anymore."  That's really what the lost person needs. They don't need sympathy for being lost.

I've been lost for a long time.  I wander around, sometimes asking for help in finding my way.  The usual response I get is like what I wrote above. No one ever actually offers to help me find my way. I get sympathy for being lost, but I never wanted sympathy. Sure I appreciate the sentiment, but I would rather not be lost, instead of being lost and receiving sympathy.  However, I understand that it's not anyone's responsibility to help anyone else.  They have their own life to live. I totally get that.

The irony is that I spend most of my time helping others that are lost.  I do it since I know what it's like to be lost.  I do it since I know no one else will help them.  But I think I'm going to just going to sit down and accept that I'm lost.  

I'm tired.  

I don't want to wander around anymore.
