Alone..

There will always be people who seem to be endlessly occupied or burdened. Maybe they are, in a true sense. Maybe they aren't. What matters is how they treat you when you are in need of their companionship. 'I'm busy right now' may sound like a few innocuous syllables but strangely it shows your place in that particular individual's life. That they will not go out of their way to ensure you're okay. Even if you had no intention to bother or perturb them and you're rather overwhelmingly guilty to share your inconsequential problems but the way you are silently pushed away reinforces the tingling feeling you've ignored for long, that no matter how much you try and convince yourself, you are not at all important or significant to them.
It is probably then you recall,that you were advised not to have soaring expectations from creations of God. Flawed and imperfect as they are, they will fail you one day or the other. Think of it like a report card. Consecutive straight A's catapult your expectations to infinity, so much so that the one tiny B that suddenly appears is earth shattering nevertheless. Don't expect people to be perfect , spotless report cards. Rather learn to lower them,from their pedestals so that disappointments won't hit you like bullets.
At the end of the day, you always ALWAYS have Him. The one who never abandons, one who is ever present and always listening. your most trusted confidante, and the keeper of all your secrets. Ask him, beg him to relieve you of whatever feels burdensome..
Maybe alone is what you have.
Alone is what protects you...
