Reality and Humanity

It's like we're waiting for that perfect moment.  A space in time that will bring us to a true sense of reality. A reality where there are no trap doors or hidden negativity. A reality where everyone's souls connect in world full of harmony. Reality. Like we even know what that means anymore.

 We all have our own interpretations of what reality really is,  But yet we keep searching through the clutter of our lives for a glimpse of  some kind of higher purpose. We find ourselves working day in and day out following the same repetitive routine. Over time we will feel more and more worn out and a lack of accomplishment. That's when we turn to social media. Cause why not? We have LOTS of friends right? We have so many connections!  Time to show the world who we are! So we carefully write some bullshit post and make it look as if we are the happiest person on the earth so that everyone will like you. Now we wait. Wait for someone to notice you and to validate that they "LIKE" you. The more "LIKES" the better right? Nah. The more "LIKES" you get the further you drift away from yourself. You are creating a distorted version of your reality. Although FB asks whats on your mind.. do you dare say the truth? Of course not! And why would you? These people on your "friends" list dont know you like that. They only know what you've been feeding them. An imaginary life. In this day in age people need to appear strong, put together, and attractive in order to be liked. Showing signs of weakness could destroy the reputation you try so hard to maintain.  But you're not to blame. We ALL do it. Secretly hiding away our true selves in a locked box and guarding it with claws out. But why do we make ourselves suffer like this? We fear rejection. We fear being alone. We fear ourselves. We dont trust ourselves with others and vice versa. We live in a world full screens, lies, and fear. We lose sight of what makes us the human species. Humanity.

Humanity. Human beings collectively. As a whole. Together. It is in our nature to be together as a whole. Showing love, compassion, and companionship. Now how are we supposed to do that when all we do is log in and log out? That's a false connection. We crave for those real life moments while being who we really are and doing it unashamed and without judgment. Wouldn't that be something? Living in a reality where everyone loved one another. Without fear. Being connected to everyone and every living thing on the planet. Seems like it's too good to be true.. and maybe it is for some. But there is hope. There is time for change. I know it is a lot easier said that done.. We have all been programmed to be the way that we are. But we must learn to unplug and connect to a better life source. Everyone wants to be heard. Everyone wants to feel like they are needed and that their existence matters. I am here to tell you that you are needed and that your existence matters. Make yourself be known. Encourage others. Show love in anyway you can. Even if its just holding a door for someone else. These things matter and are far more important than anyone of us can understand. We need to transform and log in to our higher consciousness. We all have it. We just need to let it out of that locked box and let it shine brighter than the sun. We owe it to ourselves.  We owe it to our mother, Earth.

Hey there, My name is Rachel and I am not 100% sure why i'm making a blog. Maybe i just need a way to express myself that feels gratifying. Kind of like an open confession booth or an outlet in which i can pour my inner self out to anyone who finds me. If anyone finds me. I don't expect anyone to find me which is (at least to me) the beauty of it. If i am heard.. i am heard. If not.. so be it.
