not alone.

it's so easy to feel isolated. to tell yourself that no one understands. to be convinced that you are alone and unsupported.

but it is so far from the truth.

I am so grateful to have the people in my life. And it's amazing how, when something happens and I need support, I automatically feel alone, which makes it that much harder and scarier to deal with whatever I need to deal with. But then, someone calls, or someone skateboards by, or smiles, or whatever. And I remember all the wonderful people who make up my support system. And I realize that I am constantly surrounded by human beings, human beings who all feel, and hurt and cry like I do. And maybe they don't relate to the exact situation in my life, but we all know what it's like to feel alone, to feel overwhelmed, stressed, or angry- whatever it has looked like for us. And when we need a shoulder to cry on, or an ear to listen, someone to scream with or a body to lie next to- people pull through.

So here's to people. 'Cause we're not alone.
