I'm good. I can do this. Thank you buddy. I can manage always doing things alone, always wanting to be alone. But then loan in his heads a sudden gust of wind that tense shows up your spine. So you try to venture out, try to meet new people. Try to make connections before you knew it. Who said far to the bridge before it was even built to try and warm herself in the cold. That loneliness. Broad. Yeah. Who convince yourself that at the end of the day, all you have is you. Mhm mm I'm good. I can do this. Thank you. But I can manage vulnerability and sincerity is scary. It's easier to build up the wall to blame people for not climbing high enough, not pushing hard enough to break it. It's easier to tell yourself that if they really cared, they would try harder. But as they try harder, you pull away farther, you fall back and say maybe just wasn't meant to be. You're not hurt. You can't be, you haven't invested enough emotion more time to fully get the sense of losing someone. So you try again, you venture out, try to meet you. People try to make connections but it still falls too short and the blanket for dozen cover your feet. We pull it up all the way to your head. You want to make it work. Then you have to contort yourself into a weird position just so we could cover a whole body. So you just end up abandoning the blanket. Just try to sleep and ignore the cold, hoping that will eventually go over. But it doesn't so cold stays and you wake up feeling sore and fatigued. You don't like this comfort so you avoid it as much as you can. You don't have equal that because solitude has become so familiar. Having company scares you. Ultra independence has become your response to everything. But you know, it's fraud and it's not working in your attempt to avoid discomfort. You're doing more harm than good. Now it's time to embrace the uncertainty, embrace the pain, to embrace my and good. I can do this, but also thank you. I really appreciate the help.
