Sometimes, when I see 'that' guy in a park or some lonely crack in the fabric of the city ...
You know the guy, wild eyes burning holes in the sky, all the while accusing and chastising some invisible antagonist, so obviously batshit that cautious pedestrians create instant safe routes to avoid him.
That guy.
I'd like to meet that guy and ask him some advice.
Firstly I'd have to reassure him I wasn't taking the piss, and that I seriously needed his input.
Secondly I'd ask him to give me as honest an answer as he can ...
Q: Is the entity you seem to be at war with imaginary (if the answer to this first part is yes, then I wish you a fine day and stay safe, enjoy your conversation).
Or, is it that someone or something from your past has hurt you in some way, but now the time or opportunity to speak up for yourself is lost, and all you have left is the sky to rail against?
I may be late to the party, but I'm only just learning this is way more common than you'd think!
Apparently, the world is chock overflowing with humans that desperately need to scream at a good patch of sky.
You see, people and events in my past have hurt me a lot too; and as I get older and the opportunity has passed for me ever to speak my truth or to find peace and closure, now all I have is the sky.
I struggle with this everyday, sometimes I scream at the sky, sometimes I cry rivers and some days I try to laugh it all off (I keep on swinging, but my batting average sucks).
I still haven't found the right answer ... so ... are there any other things we could try, firstly have I been screaming at the right part off the sky (it is big you know).
Some days I know I could use a little extra help, some days we all could use a little extra help.
Maybe a more accurate star chart ... who the fuck knows.
I'd really like to know if it helps him, because apparently there's loads of us.
Also where do all the other sky people hang out?
Then I think I'd like to give him a hug and wish him a good day.
Here's a challenge:
Try to be kinder, more compassionate, more empathetic than you were yesterday.
Now do this everyday for the rest of your life ...
May the road rise up to meet you always:
Pryce.
