"You were not there ... "
Unknown
We all project a persona as we struggle to discern a deep sense of identity. If we have worked hard at unearthing our dreams, it does not necessarily follow that rainbows await. There are those who are so divided between who they appear to be and who they are within, a vast black ocean overcomes them with waves.
How many times will these black waves wash over us before we succumb to drowning or giving up entirely? The most resilient amongst us may weaken, tired from being so strong. The farther we fall back into darkness, the more difficult it becomes to reach out towards a beacon of light.
We are shocked when we learn of intentional death and ponder how this tragedy could be 'as they had it all'. The greater the spot light, the harder the performance. Self loathing knows no limits. We cannot judge those who choose to leave this life as we truly do not have a deep understanding of what was going on behind the scenes. Simply put, 'you were not there'.
