Everyone deserves everything that they want in life. The most common misconception however, is that people can achieve these things completely and utterly alone. Not true. The greatest and most impactful accomplishments, as well as the best met desires are usually backed by a support system. Or at the very least, there's one other person involved to ease the weight of achieving such precious successes. Simply so that the stress of it doesn't fall solely on one pair of shoulders. I've noticed that people who tend to believe that they can do everything on their own are the ones who suffer most . Obviously, there will be times when we have to face the brutalness of the world alone. There will be times where we may not have backup, and we just have to dig our heels in and push. More than likely many of the things that hurt us we will have to face alone. Yet and still, even in the midst of surviving the solo battles we will have to derive straight from words of encouragement given to us by others. So technically, even when we are by ourselves, we aren't alone. We have the notions, the morals and the mental citations of all whom we've been affected by. Not to be the bearer of perpetually bad news, but people who tend to suffer through traumatic things completely on their own tend not to walk away from situations unscathed. If I'm being completely honest, I feel that more damage comes to a person from dealing with something alone more than from the "something" they're actually dealing with. Let me be clear, surviving hardship alone is completely and totally possible. Do I think it's wise? No. Do I think people underestimate the power and strength of a pair of sturdy shoulders to lean on? Absolutely. The strongest weapon in the support arsenal is love. I don't necessarily mean that in a romantic way, although I'm sure that helps. Still, love is in my opinion the greatest healer of all time. Depending on how many people one has in their support system, a person going through the most turbulent of times can come out on top. Even when he or she cannot not persevere, love can. It does not make a person weak to admit they need someone. In fact, to admit to that type of vulnerability is where real strength exist to begin with.
