The Inconsistencies of Life as We Know It

"There certainly is something funny about being apart of something that's called a family. You expect acceptance, you expect to be wanted, you expect to gain a group of friends with whom you have something in common. You expect to be included. That's all you really wanted, to be included and accepted. Then it starts to dawn on you. You notice the "family" aspect doesn't apply to you. It's as if everyone else is the family and you're the creep standing outside the window watching them sit down to dinner. It kills you inside and you start to wonder. Wonder what you did, wonder why you're hated so much and where you went wrong. You start to feel inadequate, flawed even. The feelings start to invade your thoughts at the worst possible time. You begin to lose the passion for the common ground that initiated you into the so-called family in the first place. Your hopes of finally fitting in and having acceptance start to dissipate into nothingness. But then on a day you weren't even expecting, at a place you used as your last attempt of touching that bliss you once felt so long ago, he appears."
