I have noticed

Unless you have friends and family that actually do care about you (although I don't know what that's like), you're nothing. No one will acknowledge you as a person and no one will care about you for doing nothing out of the ordinary. However, if you're rich and famous, people will acknowledge you for what you've done...but they still might not care about you as a person. It makes me feel like we really are alone in this world. It doesn't matter how close you are to someone 'cause all of that is temporary and once you part ways or die, nothing matters. Yes, you can hear people compliment you or say that they care, but there appears to be so little action. When was the last time I helped someone? Last year. When was the last time someone helped me? Hmm...I can't even remember. I'm not saying I want anything in return, but the fact that I don't even get some acknowledgement makes me feel so insignificant. It makes me feel like nothing matters and being kind or thoughtful is futile. Maybe I really should just take a vow of silence and neglect everything around me.
