Self-Reliance

People were not made to be alone. We were born to find someone. This does not mean it will be romantic. It just means there is someone we were born to help. Whether we know it or not, we have found that someone multiple times. Each time we walk in or out of someone's life we help them. If it's a bad relationship, then we have helped them learn what not to do. No matter how much a person does not want to admit it, we all need help. Self-reliance only goes so far. Once it runs out, a person picks up. Saying, "I don't need you." does not change the fact that we do need people. We need everyone. If we are shaped by our environment then, people's thoughts, ideas, and actions shape us. As we grow up, the people we are surrounded by help us develop. When we get older, they continue to change us even if it is not noticeable. You need everyone and everyone needs you. Without each individual "you," the world would be nothing.
