Watching Cast Away on this sat night, I canÂ’t help but feel like I share in some ways the fate of Tom HankÂ’s character--- despite living right in the midst of a bustling urban life, my loneliness & emotional detachment from the world is intense beyond world.
As this year Christmas approaches, this would like the fourth year my life has been in this state, somewhat a vacuumÂ… the happiness of being in a relationship or having the concern of friends is something that seems perpetually elusive of me.
The greatest setback, I guess, is not because IÂ’ve failed, but despite all that IÂ’ve done, I seemed to be so easily eradicated from the lives of the people IÂ’m concerned aboutÂ… it doesnÂ’t even take a few years to be alone on an island, but IÂ’m already cleanly forgotten by the world at large--- the gal I liked, friends...
Seriously, whatÂ’s wrong with my life?
You believe you're forgotten and you let it be an end. You want certain things but you're not proactive enough. Even when you might be trying, you dare not face up to and accept failures.
