it's not a bother to be needed

Info

I honestly think being needed is beautiful. Like when someone asks you to do something, or when somebody looks for you because only you can solve the problem, or when a friend leans on your shoulder for strength, or when a forgotten acquaintance seeks for your help, even if that person only remembered you because he needed something from you.

Imagine having a life without someone needing you, can you even call that 'living'?

To merely exist, alone, neither wanted nor needed by anyone is terrifyingly depressing.

That's why I still feel happy and undisturbed when someone asks for my help, even if we have long lost our communication to each other. It is a proof that I exist, I'm alive, and needed. That I have managed to imprint kindness to other people. That though I'm just a worthless and small being within this vast universe, there's still one or two people who think of me, run to me, and have faith that I will come when called.

So for everyone who needs me, thank you. I'm at least able to fulfill a little part of my purpose.

Because I firmly believe that one of the saddest and loneliest feeling in the world is not being needed by anyone.

People are scary like that

They'd throw you away as if making you feel special was a mistake.

Restless Sleeper

I am just a girl with an ambitious soul living inside this lackadaisical body.
