The end and a beginning

My life has no significance. I'm air, eternally present yet invisible. The grains of sand are slowly trickling down the hourglass, while I'm wasting away precious time. My friends don't notice me. Though sad, they are not to blame. I am truly really shy and introvert. I assume I'm more of a listener rather than a speaker. My family only consists of my mother. She has been a great help whom I cling onto and vice versa. I see her more as my best friend than my guardian. Oh, how I wish I could go to family gatherings or spend holidays with my relatives. I implore you ; you shouldn't think of these things as burdens. Cherish it.
