Random Ramblings...

How is it that in the world we can always be surrounded by people, yet feel so alone? Lately I have this overwhelming sense of alienation and it makes me wonder what am I doing wrong. I seem to go over and above the call of duty in every situation and aspect of my life, yet at the end of the day I have nothing there cheering me on or making me feel like all my efforts are appreciated. Being the type of person I am it is extremely frustrating to me how someone cannot verbalize their thoughts or feelings... I realize we cannot all be out there how I am... don't those people realize that us go getter's in life need to feel appreciated to? I guess what I am saying is why is it that the ones that need affection, adoration and to know they are doing a good job never get it? I am not asking the world to kiss my ass or even those close to me... Perhaps I am just seeking answers. A thank you... a hug... flowers... a card written with thought... a kind word or smile... these are the things in life I work so hard to strive for and never seem to get. I guess they are right when they say those who do the most, receive the least...
