Why Do I Care So Much?


Why do I care so much, why do I give a damn?

All I seem to do is try and try to be there and to give my undivided self to everybody. I think I love so intensely that even the slightest inconvenience to someone that I care about is debilitating and tears me to pieces. Naturally, I do not want to see anyone hurt, sad. If I can't help, Im helpless. Hopeless and feeling like a waste of space. Why do I care so much? Maybe it is a gift. Maybe it is a cruel injustice that's been given. Then I have to stop and think. If not me, then who? If I wasn't there to care about someone, would someone else. I may not be the best person to ask for advice or the greatest friend who never screws up, but I have love, an open heart and the open mindedness of someone who has never known pain. Even though, I've been through trials, heart break and gut wrenching tears. Every chance shouldn't be the last, every love deserves attention. So Why do I care so much? Why does plain Jane, lil old me have to care so much especially if the feelings are not reciprocated. I'm sure many of you know that feeling all too well. You pour your heart into someone and their well being only to feel used and unwanted, ending up alone. Why do you care so much? Im sure that those of you who are reading this nodding your heads, thinking "Yeah, I feel the same" wonder why is my heart STUCK to my sleeve. Why can't I move the darn thing back in my chest where it can be guarded. I guess it doesn't work like that. Once a heart sleeve always a heart sleeve.



I can feel the pain of others. I heard that is called empathy. I cry for them and the unimaginable burden they bare. Maybe they silently suffer but some suffering can be seen on the face. Its hard to detect, almost impossible because with being human comes the ability to hide, like a natural predator/prey. We hide. There is pain still, the eyes still tell all. They leave a voice even for the voiceless.

Why does it hurt so much? Why does the pain that is inflicted upon us hit us so hard, shaking our core, changing the roots inside of us that we have created. Why? Are we such an intricate



race with the ability to create and destroy at the drop of a hat.


Why do we feel empathy, sympathy, pity?

The Things We May Never Know. Curiosity.

I know curiosity has killed the cat over and over. Maybe, even longer than 9 times. But, our curiosity seems to never fade. As humans we always find things to oogle over. The things that make us question what is acceptable. Its actually quite funny. The big picture, I mean. How we stop and stare and ponder over the things we may never fully know about. There's a lot isn't there? We may stop and question things we desire the answers too. What about the questions that do not have answers the ones that leave open ended responses to be filled with the imaginative curiosity. Those my friends are the ones to ponder over.  We typically assume that every question has an answer, but do they? Do they have to? and (Every so popularly) Why? Like you, I'm not sure of that. Not all questions have answers just like not all actions come with reason. Some times the things we don't understand happen out of circumstance with no reason or meaning. They just do.  I know that ...

When I say , "I miss you"

When I say, "I Miss You" August 27, 2018 | MissTaylor When I say you I miss you, the words are empty. Sure that may sound heartless to most but to me the emptiness speaks of something that USED to be there. When I say I miss you, I miss the person you used to be, I miss the long talks, the laughs and the dumb things we'd do. When I say I miss you, I am grieving a loss, not a physical one but an emotion, and mental one. because the person I once loved so deeply has changed, I have lost you, I am abandoned. So when I say, I miss you. I am holding back, holding back from exploding with words of rage over how things have changed. How the bad outweighs the good to you and the person I once knew is gone. So when I say, I miss you be thankful that I am saying it at all. That the one shred of hope that I have left for you is hanging on because we walk a thin line together now, one that may tear us apart forever. When I say I mi...

Just A Stay At Home?

I know what you guys are thinking! oh no she's not actually doing it. Shocker, Yes, I'm writing about being a mom. To even it out a stay at home parent. Haha. Did I catch you there, this isn't just to you females that don't break even for that 24/7 job that pays zero. I have to give attention where attention is due because a stay at home Dad?.. Yeah, that a thing too. Props to you daddies that do it! Alot of the time, well lets face it ALL of the time stay at home parents are underestimated and taken for granted because Hello, What do they do all day? Do you really want to know? The list is comprised of over 5,000 things. Oh yes, not an exaggeration either. There are the chores of the house, the dealings with the child/children. We all know how demanding they are. You can't go two seconds without being sucked back to a child's needs. When they start to crawl even walk. The Race is on, the great escape more like it. Once they can walk, they will be running fro...
