you are the only exception

Humans are such needy beings. I don't mean to say that negatively or positively, it's just something I believe. We are, aren't we? We need companionship, we need love, we need reassurance. And for those people who don't have companionship or who say they don't need it, then they need something to prove that they don't.

Does that mean we're insecure about ourselves? We desire proof. We desire something that can show us that we're okay in life, that our life is okay, that we'll be fine. We desire people to tell us it's okay, that our life is just as screwed up and crappy as everybody else's is; that's how we'll get by.

This post is dedicated to someone special. You know who you are.

I love you. You know that. Which is why even though you feel like the world is falling apart around you, why you're falling apart with it, always remember that I am here for you. I will always be here for you, to help you go through life even if it's shitty. Even if you feel shitty. But I want you to learn, grow, and love to take care of yourself without needing me. Please understand that. I can't always be here for you to lean on me; and when that happens, you'll have to keep yourself up with your own courage. I know you're strong, and weak, and everything else that a human could possibly be.

You're messed up, but so am I. We're humans, that's what we are. We'll always be needing, always wanting something to help us get by so we don't have to rely solely on ourselves.

I will always love you, even though I'm 500 km away. I will always keep you in my heart. Please don't let yourself cry anymore, because you're too amazing to deserve all this sadness.

P.S. Come back for Thanksgiving. I miss you.
