externalizing the internal.

came across a cause somewhat randomly today.
and couldn't help but really think about whether or not i can support it.
or even come to an opinion on it.

thinking about it. i don't know if one can truly ever "heal" from it.
i don't quite understand how raising awareness and providing support for it improves the condition.
maybe it's like love. how once u experience it. u never really ever forget about it. or stop caring completely about that person.
u continue to carry it with you. it's forever there. dormant, but nonetheless present.
and is raising awareness really... helpful?
in the sense that the more ppl know about it, the more it becomes a viable option for someone else in similar situations.
perhaps its just a way of living. coping. surviving.
how can outsiders possibly understand?
why is support necessary?
i think... once it becomes a part of one's knowledge... it becomes an option.
and once the option is taken. . . it becomes a part of you. always.

sometimes i think ppl r willfully blind.
even when it is so clear before them. they choose ignorance.

a part of me can't see why it's such a big deal.
another side of me truly feels sorry for them.
