#To Be Understood

[abby086]

Sometimes I feel as though I am floating through life as a ghost, unseen to everybody else, and all I crave is to be seen.

To be understood.

Perhaps one did not want to be loved so much as to be understood.

To love someone, understanding is not essential. Though I must add here that it is like someone eating a food in which salt isn't added. Hunger will be gone but the real taste of food will not be experienced. So is the case when we are loved without being understood...

is it just me or does anyone else also think the lyric “my mind turns your life into folklore” holds such meaning???like. yes, miss taylor. that’s exactly it. maybe not to everyone but at least to those who create/genuinely enjoy art it’s just so meaningful.

i mean, yes i will in fact glance at a stranger for 1.8 seconds and imagine what their whole life must be like. and i’ll wonder if our paths will ever meet again and if we could have been fellows. that stray animal i found a week ago is still on my mind and it’s making my chest sink that i didn’t take it with me because i want to give it a name and a home. i’ll stare at the stars at night and create tragic love affairs between them. this book i read 3 years ago is still on my mind and it changed the way i view things completely. i carry every form of art that has ever touched me with myself. i’ll find a beautiful leaf on the ground and create a backstory in which that same leaf is all that remains from a magical kingdom gone so very long ago. even though we haven’t talked in years i still think about you almost everyday because i’ll always think you have a beautiful soul and i’ll always wander how’s your life at the moment. i want someone to find my paintings and notebooks in a hundred years and wonder who i was and think ‘i would’ve liked to meet her’. i’ll imagine characters and epic quests in my mind just for the sake of escaping to a fantasy world.

so yes, this lyric is so hauntingly beautiful to me and i think it perfectly encapsulates what’s it’s like to live in the rawest purest form of romanticism.

When “The only thing I’ve every really wanted was to be understood”

Animation really has been packing an emotional punch lately, and for the future is no different.

Maturity is when you understand that best friends are friends who are closest to us. They started as friends, some times mere acquaintance or other times complete strangers. It's a period of togetherness and camaraderie that makes us best of friends. This period may varies from few hours to few years depending on the personality of people involved.

As a kid, we may choose few other kids to be our best friends. Among those, who stick to us through thick and thin, remain as our best friends till adulthood. Best friends know us as persons and accept us with all our flaws. We can be our true selves with them. No need to hide anything or be ashamed of anything.

So please, don't ask me why am I not making you my best friend. The point is you have to be my friend first, which you are not, because neither you know me as a person nor you are even trying.

I long to be seen and understood with such fervor that it aches within my soul.

Aren't we all waiting to be read by someone, praying that they'll tell us that we make sense.

I have found both freedom and safety in my madness; the freedom of loneliness and the safety from being understood, for those who understand us enslave something in us.

Do they hear?

Even if they did, do they understand?

Even if they did, do they love?

Even if they did, will that last?

whenever I say sandman is a story about all of us I mean that very literally. you cannot read or watch it without one of the narrators addressing you personally. of course, it could’ve been written without those bits; could’ve just been about a dysfunctional family and their work affairs, but it wasn’t. the narrators refer to your dreams and your personal experiences; they urge you to make connections to yourself or someone you know. we have all dreamed, we have all felt despair, and we will all see death. and in a way I think that’s comforting.
