Ever Get The Feelings Of Been STUCK?

The word STUCK can give a really uncomfortable feeling when said and that’s the feeling most individuals get when in a certain circumstance. In the world today, out of a 100% of persons, 90% of which get the feeling of been stuck one way or another. Either it’s been stuck a some kind of situation, stuck in a place, or stuck in a point in their lives where there’s no growth or change, you’re just there and that can really be frustrating.

The word STUCK can mean different things in different terms, to different people, some of which are;

  • Not being able to change an unpleasant situation or get away from it.
  • Being unable to move from a particular place, for example, not being able to live your room because the door is stuck.

Which ever way it is defined it all has one thing in common, which is “the inability to”. The inability to change a certain situation you know is not right, the inability to do things differently, to go different place and do what you really want. Though some would rather call it been TRAPPED. Trapped in different circumstances, here’s what someone story says about being trapped or stuck;

“I don't like this place, it's cold and dark and it feels like it’s a place with a lot scary negative energy. It’s like I'm sitting in a large birds cage and the cold winds circling around me and it's weird that i've gotten pretty used to it. The cold breeze touching my skin feels almost soothing. I've been trapped in here for a long time, even though it's a dark and lonely place it's my home. I have no idea when I became used to it and i wish i knew how it felt before all of this became so weirdly comfortable. I remember being a little kid trapped in this sad so called home with one small toy and I didn't really mind I wasn't happy but I was ok. I pretended that this cage was a happy place, it's weird because I started believing that I created a whole new world in there I became friends with the cage. It was mostly a not so pleasant experience but it felt almost right and never allowed myself to feel sad and the thought of me being trapped in this horrible place was so frightening that I just wanted to stay as far away from it as I could. As I always knew that I'm trying to escape and live like I'm supposed to, but then the worst thing happened the wind stopped and the cage was suddenly unlocked, i can now open the door. I feel paralyzed in a week I knew I hated this place, I hate that i still call it my home,I hate how dark cold and lonely it is, I hate looking outside and seeing a beautiful sunny sky and people laughing and hugging, I hated it because i know that i could feel the same way.It's scary because it feels like this cage has been an excuse for such a long time and now it's gone, the doors are open but I feel too scared to leave.”

Now that’s touching, but like it or not most of us aren’t really comfortable where we are right now, but we don’t have much of a choice either, I have had different situations or times when I feel like I am stuck in one point in life where I can’t leave, I don’t seem to see any growth and all one can do is just stay, pray and hope for a better day.

Being stuck can be really frustrating, when you feel the place or the situation you are in isn’t not favorable and you really don’t have much to do about it. All you can really do is to give it your best, survive and just float and hope that the current of life takes you to the shores of a beautiful island someday.
