Do you ever feel unreal? As if you didn't count? As if you were but an extra in someone else's dreams? That you made no mark and would make none; that no one would find your grave? Do you ever feel as if you screamed, but no sound came out, or worse, the sound was there but no one cared?
Do you ever feel like that?
Posted by Rachel Ann at September 28, 2004 01:51 PMSure, I've felt that way. I bet you that everyone has at some point. The important thing to remember, I think, is that it's not true.
Everyone counts in some way, small or great.

I hope if you're feeling like an 'extra' it's already gone! :)
Posted by: pam at September 28, 2004 04:13 PMSure..I've felt like that, but the trick is to remember it'll pass , which i am sure you do !!
Hugs !
Ya I have definitely felt like that but not for too long. I try to remember that I am very important in this world. I wouldn't have been put on this planet for no reason.
Posted by: Robin P at September 29, 2004 12:13 AMYes, I've felt like that. Growing up, I had a recurring dream that I was being attacked, usually by a monster, and I screamed and screamed, but nothing came out. It was horrifying. In retrospect, it did have real-life meaning for me.
