Have you ever had to always depend on yourself to survive? Have you succeeded in life because rough times were not an excuse to give in? If yes, congratulations for being a bad ass. Life can give you enough storms to break down a house. Many people focus on the broken houses instead of the ones still standing. It’s our nature to help those who are broken but what about the one’s still standing? Have you ever stopped and checked on the ones that look ok? Many have not because if it seems ok, then it must be, right? Wrong! I have experienced many people who always keep it together and appear to be ok. From my personal experience I can say that sometimes the strongest people are the ones who break down the hardest. It’s admirable to be strong when the world would have expected you to fall, but its unhealthy when you forget that you still need to fix the damage that has been done. Many of us learn survival mode is the only way because it has made us get through things that many can’t. What we fail to realize is that the damage only gets worse if it is not repaired, causing us to shatter when we reach our limit. I have been on such survival mode that I kept missing my path because it wasn't the path that was secure enough for me. It eventually led me to a dead end and self-destruction. I realized how important it is to learn how to control my survival instinct. I embrace being a survivor but I also embrace being human. Dependence of survival takes away the path of living.
