Let's Run Away From Reality, Darling.

Independent.

A lot of people have told me that I am stronger than most people they know. I'll say, "Thanks", while flashing a smile. This makes people think that I'm not dependent on others at all.

But, they're wrong.

I have to keep myself from depending on others too much. Do you know what happens when I depend on other people? Well, it doesn't always have a happy ending.

Once upon a time, I become friends with a great person. They make me laugh, and I feel so close to them. I think that we're going to be friends forever, of course. Not a good idea. A few weeks later, they seem distant. I try to be nice and send sweet texts. Then, I leave them alone so they can have some space. Overthinking sneaks up on me each day they don't talk to me. They're just going through a rough patch, I tell myself over and over. But, trust me, they're not coming back. Silence is the only answer I'll get from them.

I'm not a strong girl. Not even close. I am just tired of depending on others.

One of these days, I will be strong and independent. The first step in that direction is to start believing in myself.

I'm not going to depend on others to support me. The only support I need is from myself.

I'm on the road to being a strong, independent woman, and I will not let anyone stand in my way.
