Lost in the Vast Emptiness of Life

Emptiness

My soul is tired of everything — to want to be loved, cared for, feel important — none of them I have. Some things cannot be bought. Maybe everything is beautiful in a fairy tale, but this is not some magical imaginary world. This is a harsh world where good things are rare.

I don’t know how things work. By luck? Or by chance? I want to go far away from this harsh world. I want to embrace myself with love, go away from people who are not meant for me, who don’t belong to my journey. But there is discomfort when you have been in this suffering for a long time in your life. You kind of start to enjoy your pain. You don’t know how to be normal again. You are scared of getting away from it. You don’t know if you will survive without that pain. It’s a delusional phase of life, but the only way to get out of this misery is to let go, no matter how hard it is.

  • Why are you sad? I don’t know.
  • Why is everyone running for nothing? I don’t know.
  • Is life that hard? I don’t know. I haven’t experienced that much.
  • Are humans a good species? Some are good, but nowadays, it’s rare.
  • Are they happy? I don’t know.
  • Are you interested in anything? Not really.

In this life, most people are only running toward catching shallow things. Once they get what they were striving for, they are no longer interested in it. They start looking for something else that will quench their transient happiness.

Happiness is always found in small things. If we could look closely at our lives, we would find little magic that happens every day in our daily routines. It’s hard to notice any change within oneself when you are living your life in the same pattern you always have.

We don’t look for happiness anymore. We want fame, reputation, power, and wealth. We want to control things. We want to create a false, imaginary, good reputation for ourselves that doesn’t exist. We portray a good, decent, naïve image of ourselves that is not our true, authentic self.

We lose our true selves while running for shallow things — lying, killing our naivety, and burying ourselves in the emptiness of life’s cycle.


  • We don’t know where we are going
  • We don’t own anything here
  • This is not our home
  • Yet sometimes, it feels so warm with love
  • We are lost in this vast emptiness of life

Value yourself even when nobody does

  Once you start growing up, you realize some people don’t like you anymore as they used to or pretended to. You are no longer their favorite if you don’t fulfill their wishes or listen to what they say. Remember, this is your life journey. Don’t live your life based on other people’s opinions; you need to make choices for yourself. You do not belong to them. Everyone is unique in their own way, and no one is superior to others. There are times when you may feel unworthy, as if nobody values or cares for you. This might be because of your surroundings — they don’t make you feel good about yourself and instead make you feel unimportant. In times like this, you need to gather yourself with love, care, and protection. Do not let people teach you hate. Don’t hang out with such people. When things get difficult, you need to treat yourself with small joys: go to a coffee shop, spend quality time with yourself, or go on a vacation if you can. Surround yourself with nature, and you will fe...

The Power of Giving

  Do you believe in the power of giving? What you give out to the world means you will receive something much better in return as a reward.  Everything you say, the things you do, the words that you choose to say, the act of empathy that you show towards other people — it all becomes part of the universe. Life has a way of paying back all the good things you show through different gestures that will come back to you.  We must become aware of our actions and the work that we do. The things that we bring to the world stay with us and become part of the universal soul of the world. We shouldn’t take anything for granted. Be thankful for the life you have, and spread kindness and empathy toward everyone. The Act of Kindness As human beings, what can we leave to this world? How do we want people to remember us? What should their impression be when they think of us? How do we want them to envision us? We will not take anything from this world, but what we leave on this earth is...

You’re On Your Own, Kid

  Things that didn’t happen in life, those who left you when you needed them the most — maybe those people and those things you wanted weren’t meant for you. You are on your own. Nobody will take care of you, look after you, or check on you if you are having a bad day, a nervous breakdown, or feeling the worst of life with continuous anxiety. You have to take care of yourself. Being 18 years old, I now realize how fast life moves on, how all those years just pass by in a moment. All the things I promised myself to acquire or learn — I haven’t gotten the chance to explore. Time passing by is a reminder of the precious moments slipping away from life. Stop lamenting over the things you haven’t achieved. You are the future of yourself, filled with immense possibilities. You can be whoever you want to be. You can live anywhere in the world if you wish. You are capable of all this. Life is short yet long enough to fight with yourself. Life is short on Earth; it’s important to choose the...
