I feel like I am on a limb by myself while the rest of the world is on the other jumping and hoping i'll lose my balance and fall.
It's painful that other people who are so close to me can't understand my passion.
I'm stuck in a black hole and all the people who I thought would reach there hand down to help,
just stand on the edge staring down at me- confused as if i'm speaking a different language.
It's so frustrating. Sometimes i want to scream. Other times I want to say nothing and just let everyone stay there narrow minded self.

"It's just like him
To wander off in the evergreen park
Slowly searching
For any sign of the ones he used to love
He says he's got nothing left to live for
(He says he's got nothing left)
And this time I think you'll know
You're not alone
There is more to this I know
You can make it out
You will live to tell"
When i stumbled upon your blog this song came to mind for some reason and it seemed an appropriate opening line for my comment.
I'm not trying to criticize you or anything, i just want that to be clear right off the bat, but I've always looked at going out on a limb as a good thing. Though it is a very hard thing to do sometimes it is often times for the better. The world would not be the same if Martin Luther King did not go out on a limb for his passion of equal rights for all, if Einstein did not go out on a limb when writing his theory of relavity, or even if Anberlin didn't go out on a limb by writing music their way. Those are all real examples of people who took their passions, put them into action, and went out on a limb with them even tho their ideas may have sounded crazy at the time. Just because something sounds crazy and you're going out on a limb to prove your point, doesn't mean you're not right. People will never understand you're passions and point of view unless you explain them to them, and people will never see that you're right unless they understand you're passions.
I truelly understand you're agony... Often times as humans we're so concerned with ourselves that we fail to realize the world that's going on around us. Some of us are better than others, but most people are self-absorbed. And it's unfortunate that when we need them the most that often times they're not there for us. However, there are times when we feel we don't need them at all and their company, viewpoints, and words can mean everything. I completely understand where you're coming from but you've gotta take the good with the bad. It sucks but it's what we have to do. People can be so dead set that their ways are right when they are completely wrong, many wars are started as a result of this getting out of hand, and they fail to realize that maybe they're the ones who are wrong but we can't get a good idea of who they are from only that instance, we can only get a frame of a movie from that. We often times fail to understand that there had to be some life altering moment(s) in their life that lead them to be that way.
My point is simply this. I understand what you're going through and i assure you that "you're not alone" in this struggle. We all feel this way at one point or another in our lives. Sometimes people are gonna mistake or underscore your passion for one reason or another but that's life. Don't be disappointed in them for those frames of the movie that are unrolling, but try to understand what it is in their lives that consequently made them like that and understand that most people do mean well; It's just a matter of reading between the lines and picking out what they mean versus what they're saying. And don't let their words discourage you from going out on that limb... Sure it'd be nice to have other people out there with you, but all great ideas start with a single person and a single thought... It's up to you to take that step to MAKE them understand what you mean and to change the world one voice at a time... Then again if you have of people out on a single limb with you that means more weight and the limb has more of a chance of breaking (especially if those people are fat and weighed down with negativity) so sometimes it may be better to be out on the limb alone and let others think what they want if you catch my drift... And also, no can jump on those limbs unless you allow them to... People (along with the help of god) can do anything they set their minds to, it's just up to them to follow through with it
I hope this helped
~FR~
