People often say "they are lost". What does that really mean? I mean, I feel kinda lost right now, and I have no idea what that means literally. I want to say things that I mean, and although I mean that I feel lost, I don't know
what that means.
hold up.
okay small steps. means. means:
1. to have in mind as one's purpose or intention; intend: I meant to compliment you on your work.
2. to intend for a particular purpose, destination, etc. : They were meant for each other.
3. to intend to express or indicate
4. to have as its sense or signification; signify: The word "freedom" means many things to many people
5. to bring, cause or produce as a result: This bonus means that we can take a trip to Florida.
6. to have (certain intentions) toward a person: He didn't mean you any harm.
7. to have the value of; assume the importance of: Money means everything to them. She means the world to him.
alright. that was a mouthful.
I don't want to dissect that for now, but my understanding of means was reinforced at least.
SO. Lost. what is the meaning of lost?
ah. what is the intended idea of "lost". of being lost.
The intentions of lost are:
1. no longer possessed or retained.
2. no longer to be found
3. having gone astray or missed the way; bewildered as to place, direction, etc.
4. not used to good purpose, as opportunities, time or labor; wasted: a lost advantage.
5. preoccupied, rapt
6. distracted; distraught; desperate; hopeless: the lost look of a man trapped and afraid.
I'm a little distracted, desperate, hopeless,
I think in reality though, I feel like me. my person. even the idea of me is lost. I've found myself caught between the labels. Which family do I belong to? Where is my name? i cannot find it in these groups. I am my own person. I tagged along with both parties in the big move. I am my own person trying to fit myself into a label.
I can be everyone's family. Divorce hasn't torn me. When I am lost, I can find myself. lead me, guide me.
love me, try me. everything is calm. everything has it's own place.
oh dear. so, i'm grounded right now. It's a blessing. I'm finding myself. I have so much more time on my hands and a lot of my worries have been plucked out of my hands. I listen to more music, sleep more than 6 hours a night, clean more, create more, love more. I care for my brothers more. I make more of a difference.
I smile more. :)
