And I can fight it all I want to but the truth is I'm always going to need other people. Maybe they'll be a point in my life where I fully accept that.
I pray that moving forward I can remember that truth. The next time I run into some kind of a crisis… No… A self perceived crisis, maybe I will turn to the person closest to me and just get honest. Because sometimes that's all we really need. A shoulder to lean on, cry on and occasionally slug.
