We haven’t met each other yet but I have this unexplainable feeling towards you. I know I wouldn’t have a single chance with you, but still, I thank you for giving me attention even if I least deserve it. We became close thru text and chat, we talk about anything. Oh my happy pill, I miss you and I badly want to meet you in person. We’re just few kms away, so near yet so far. I need to crush this feeling because I still have issues regarding my mental health and my whole life. I am so sad right now. :’(
There’s a lot of pain and hardship. Everybody, every minute, is tortured, suffering a lot. We shouldn’t just ignore them and save ourselves alone. Even if we could just save ourselves, we wouldn’t have a peaceful sleep. The rest of the world is going to wake us up with their pain.

You’re all Buddhas, pretending not to be. You’re all the Christ, pretending not to be. You’re all Atman, pretending not to be. You’re all love, pretending not to be. You’re all one, pretending not to be. You’re all Gurus, pretending not to be. You’re all God, pretending not to be. When you’re ready to stop pretending, then you’re ready to just be the real you. That’s your home.

I am not what you supposed, but far different.
