B-r-o-k-e-n

How many times have I used that word? I've lost count. I think if there was a system where you could record the most commonly used word in the world, it would definitely be "broken." I think with recent unsettled political events, changing and damaging weather, awful recession and just general unrest, people seem to be feeling broken and uncertain about their future.

There is so much negativity everywhere, and it's just so unsettling. I wish things would start working out, but somehow they seem to be stagnated. Another word I have been using a lot. Be it subconsciously or purposely, I tend to fit in very negative words in terms of speaking at times. They say that in order to get to something you really want you have to focus all your positivity and confidence on it. I think that is a load of crap at the moment. I think it's down to your luck. If you have good luck, then you can get anything.

Broken is such a strong word. You can be broken hearted, you can be physically broken, you can be mentally or emotionally broken. It's just a very fitting word I think, for many to describe their circumstance, so much so, that Takotsubo Cardiomypathy is also known as the Broken-Hearted Syndrome in the medical world. Because emotional stress can cause dysfunctions in the heart to an almost failing point. Isn't that so strange? You always hear of people getting heart conditions due to bad diet and external and internal stresses usually to do with finances, accommodation or businesses. But you never hear of people suffering from conditions due to physically being broken hearted from the emotional repercussions of losing a loved one, breaking up with somebody or just being very very hurt or sad.

As days go by, there are things I realise about the world that I am starting to dislike. The list gets longer day by day, and I think I need a thought-makeover to redeem everything before I become a sceptical cynic.

Here's a song. A fitting song.

What a beautiful, yet melancholic post. I agree with the sentiments and often think that this negativity is necessary to fully appreciate the positive that will inevitably come out of it. "Growing pains" must've been coined for a reason...
