August 10

Sometimes, the thing you need, just this one thing, can only be given by one person. Just one. This thing, that enables you to keep going, keep moving; the thing that makes you feel like you have a place in this world and enables you to do what it is you were meant for, cannot be obtained on your own. It cannot come from within. The idea that you can live a certain way or accomplish certain things in order to get this thing is only that, an idea. It must be given and the only way to get it, is to ask for it. Sometimes, you wrestle with taking the chance to ask for it, knowing so much of yourself is in danger of being exposed. Sometimes, you get the courage. One time. That's all it takes.

If you ask for it, and this one thing, the very thing you need to survive, you don't get, you learn to never ask for it again.

Ever.
