Dear Apathy,
I chose to give these six letters a life because for some reason this feels like so much more than a word to me.
Let’s define the word,
Apathy: having or showing little or no interest, concern, or emotion.
Apathy, the feeling that the only way to be free is to give up hope.
I think we suffer from a trauma, that until today I could not name.
Apathy, the destroyer of hopes and dreams.
I feel like she walks with me.
Constantly in the corners of my mind that I couldn’t see.
The feeling of taking ten steps forward only to be pushed 6 steps back, until you decide to fight back.
But why fight back ?
Fight long enough, you forget real the villain.
Fight long enough, you become that which you fought.
Still present,
Apathy never loses, she still appears, shows up when we joke, laugh, walk and experience the world.
Having a name for this feeling is like finding new words I could not speak.
Apathy, you give meaning to centuries for me.
Thank you for allowing me to see.
For becoming so much more than a word to me.
Apathy, now you appear so insignificant to me.
I choose not to fight but understand what I could not see.
