That's exactly my point haha! :) I used to rely on my friends quite a bit...a little too much, actually. I would get depressed and then lean entirely on them to cheer me up. I would have a lot of self-doubt and low self-esteem, so I'd rely on them to boost me up and tell me the things I wouldn't tell myself. But then it finally hit me, that if I wanted my life to improve, I would have to take control of my life. My friends aren't always going to be there for me, and neither is my family. The only person who will be there for me ever second of every day is me. I realized that I had so much more strength than I was giving myself credit for. And so I started believing in myself and relying on my inner strength to get me through tough times...and it has made such a difference in my life. Because I get to choose how life's challenges are going to affect me. But anyways...thank you soooo much for reading my poem and commenting on it! I do so love your comments! :D

I love this so much! The world really does need to rely on themselves a little bit. Because when it comes down to the foundations, you are the only person that never leaves. Great job Nightingale! CX
