I finally understand why people, including myself, pull away from everyone. They are alone. The don't have the support they need from their friends and family. So they have to do it themselves. I have to do it myself. I have to pick myself up off the ground and dust myself off. I have to comfort myself during sleepless nights. And I have to keep myself just slightly above the water to not drown in the depression. I have to keep myself alive. I can only be dependent on me, and only myself.
