a slice of life

all problems are boring until they're your own. i realized this after some thought and observation of people when they face difficulties. it's hard to accept, of course. some may even disagree and try to reason with me but i guess i've become firm about it. people don't really care unless they have to. unless they are involved in some way or will face consequences if they do not act. they may be troubled for a moment, but at the end of the day, they can still go to sleep without worrying excessively or revealing any signs of struggles unlike individuals who are actually coping with those issues. maybe it's the sympathy talking, and it's not actually a dreadful thing. just avoid concluding that everyone understands and responds in the same way because doing so too frequently highlights an ulterior motive and hidden intent. perhaps this is why i became silent about all my previous battles. no one totally cares, so no one can truly contribute anything that could possibly help me. and maybe it's not all bad. i only need to handle a few issues on my own to save time and potentially prevent further problems.
