The bystander

    There are different forms of being lost but in the end they are all lonely and conflicting. It's hard and confusing to know what to say or do when we are in this state, but we find ourselves in agony when we are the bystander of someone we love is lost.

As the bystander we are the ones who hurt the most and yet, we are also the bravest to simply stay beside them until they find themselves once again. Some ruin their lives, some make decisions they later regret and others just never find there way back until the end. We wish they would listen to us or notice what they are doing to themselves but deep down we know nothing we can say or do will change anything. The power of helplessness.

I wanted to write this message to all bystanders who are hurting and frustrated for their love ones, and let you know there is no one stronger, patient and as loving as you. As someone who used to be lost and most likely get lost again, I thank you for being beside us and never losing hope in us because without you I firmly believe we wouldn't be able to move foreword.

Being a bystander is hard. Not anyone can live being one but it is the most appreciated and needed.  Honestly, in my opinion, right and wrong isn't as easy as black and white. No, life has circumstances and people surrounding the situation where they determine there actions and decisions. If they regret it or not depends on the consequences and there point of view but I believe there is no wrong choice as long as you made it being who you really are at that moment. There will always be consequences but that is an unpredictable future we can't control, much less how we will change. We can only fathom the present, so I ask, when you have to make a decision that is hard to take, just choose the one you believe in.

Be bold. Your a bystander.
