So many times, as humans, we strive and exhaust ourselves in
an attempt to fill a void we may or may not realize we’re desperately trying to
fill. Some of us work tirelessly, whether in our homes or in our places of
employment, trying our best to prove ourselves/worth/value. If they could just
see how hard we’re working or see our sacrifices, they’ll understand how much
we truly want or deserve this (promotion, approval, appreciation).
Others try to fill their void with pornography, being drunks,
doing drugs, gambling, etc. to the extent of losing their spouses or pushing
those closest to them further and further away. Often, if you sit with someone
who is running, as I believe they are, you’ll find one profound thing...they
lack self-worth or feel they are unworthy of love. They often believe if they
escape, they are only affecting themselves, and they aren’t hurting anyone
else. They can’t see the hurt those around them truly feel as a result of their
attempts to fill the void in their heart.
So many times, we try to substitute one not-so-great thing
in our lives for another. Often, these are epic fails. We all have voids we’re
trying to fill. The work, food, abusive relationships, even religion, whatever
it is is better than nothing, right? Wrong. A lack of relationship is what it
is.
I’m a lover of music, so all I have to say, I’ll do so with
songs that say all that I would.
