on looking in my mirror

Wouldn't it be nice if just occasionally, when you're feeling really insecure, you could see just how insecure everyone around you is? It's usually only well after the event that you discover that you are not alone if feeling awkward about something in particular, and by then, its usually too late to do anything about it. The thing that I'm gradually realising is that really, I'm not that different from everyone else in the world. what sometimes feels like a creeping insanity often turns out to be just a phase that everyone goes through, or better yet, the result of a particular situation that is making everyone involved feel equally uncomfortable.

I guess I'm just learning that it's really alright to be vulnerable sometimes. especially where people are concerned. Sure, some may take advantage, but by and large, everyone is just too concerned with their own situations to even notice. and on occasion, when someone does notice, it's usually because they can identify.
