Animals & Me

For the species that has the most developed brain, we are absolutely ruining each other and the rest of the world. We are becoming more socially awkward than ever and honestly enjoying our alone time. We are no more able to handle each other and have forgotten how to.

I am one of those people. I still don’t know how to connected with a human being. But I most definitely know how to connect with animals. I think it is mainly because it is the most effortless job. It doesn’t even feel like a job, it just happens. 

I have connected with many animals and insects but the problem is, I and my and to get too close to them. And that part of me never has been an problem. I connected with a house lizard, a dog and anot elephant this month. 
They truly listened to me and loved me with all my faults. The best part is, they chose to do that. It wasn’t forced on them or expected of them. They just did. And they made me forget them. 

I smiled, I cried, I shared my deepest thoughts and emotions with them and they listened. They didn’t judge or question or try to advice me otherwise. They just listened. I guess they knew that that is all I needed. I didn’t need answers or a conversations, I just needed a listener. They were there for me. 

They didn’t mind that I didn’t mingle with them or hugged them or fed them. They were just happy that I existed. They respected my fears and understood them and maintained theiron distance instead of forcing themselves on me. They did truly love me for who I am. And they were in all sense there for me.

Though doesn’t this just bother you? That you are not able to connect with your own kind anymore like that? Or maybe it is just me who is the balck sheep of this species.
