Relate, Reflect and Ruminate: Gasping

Because sometimes, emotions don’t fit into bullet points and I have a flare for the dramatic.

For those who drift alone in a crowded world, quietly asking if anyone notices.

The day begins, or does it?

What I look at exists, but I do not see

My body amorphous, a single entity

Alone it stands in the webs of the universe

Not a suffering loneliness, a feeling of singular inevitability

Connection lost from the satellites surrounding life

Voice lost to the milieu of the world

Intellectually I am lost from feeling

Emotively I am lost from perception

Perceptively it is as though I do not exist

I hear the words from for the crowd

Loving advice that cuts my already bleeding heart

From this there is no recovery save the surrendered breath.

I must not seek to end it all

Desire and resistance only driving the knife deeper

The cleaner the cut, the easier the heal

Calm I must be to the exclusion of all else

Flowing with the rivers of pain

🗝️ Three Paths to Make This Yours - Unlock Your Understanding:

How would I navigate the weight of emotional disconnection from myself and the world?

• 🧠 The Thinker’s Path: I would analyse the dissonance between mind and emotion to find clarity in the chaos.

  • 🧠 Journal daily to explore the exact moments I stop feeling and what thoughts take over.

• 🌿 The Wanderer’s Path: I would surrender to the flow of experience and listen for the subtle cues of aliveness.

  • 🌿 Take a solo walk with no destination, observing what sensations and memories arise

• 🔥 The Challenger’s Path: I would rebel against emotional numbness by seeking moments that disrupt the silence and make me feel.

  • 🔥 Interrupt my autopilot by doing something wildly uncharacteristic just to see how it feels.

The truth is simple and hard: You’re always one choice away from a new path.
