Most people don’t realize how much they need and depend on other people. It’s a well known fact that: the Human species has and will continue to survive based off of our ability to cohabitate with one another, in other words one human being needs another in order to survive. Now I will give my personal declaration on one human needing another. I believe that: all humans need at least one human to assist with this journey called life; however I don’t agree that one person’s need/s should burden, or consume the other person’s need/s.
In a verse from, Whitney Houston’s The Greatest Love of Allshe snags: “Everybody’s searching for hero, people need someone to look up to. I never found anyone who fulfilled my needs, a lonely place to be and, so I learned to depend on me. I decided long ago never to walk in anyone’s shadow; if I fail if I succeed at least I live as believe no matter what they take, from me they can’t take away my dignity. Because the greatest love of all is happening to me, (and I skip to the end) learning to love your self it is the greatest love of all.” This song truly epitomizes my feelings on independency. It is my belief that: in order for a single individual to tap into their fullest potential their primary focus should be on them self. I will elaborate more on this train of thinking. Take people such as: Doctors, Layers, Scientist, and Scholars. These people have committed themselves to their crafts which say to me that; some level of independence is present in their lives. Another experience that I would like to mention is: during my young adult years I was extremely naïve to people I classify as users, these users consumed all of my time and money, they knew my work schedule on and off , basically they controlled my life. These users are very toxic to your mental and physical health, as well your exponential growth. I have given up much of my young adulthood chasing behind such people, and I have concluded today that I have taken control of my life by learning to love my self. Sometimes this may mean me being by my self and doing things by my self as well, and I have come to complete terms with this and maybe you should too.
Learning to love my self was the greatest and hardest thing that I ever had to do. Knowing that there is always something better for me is all that I focus on. I can say that today I am very happy with my self, because I know that I can always depend on me.
