We all go through adversities in our lives. It's what makes us human. We let these hardships get into our head, we isolate ourselves from those who truly do love for us, chasing after the ones we wish cared for us. We go into this coma, this state of mental numbness. Why? There will never be a solid answer to this question. Why we choose to do this to ourselves, why we fall for the wrong people, why we resort to self-harm, to an unhealthy life when we could've picked a better route. We're just human. 

However, these bad times never last forever. No matter how bad things may seem, we all have the capabilities to pick ourselves up again. It is up to us to do that. We think that by shutting ourselves from the world around us that we'll be okay, that it's better to be alone. Let me tell you, it's not. Sometimes, we have to let our guard down. We have to allow ourselves to be vulnerable in order to help us grow into the stronger people we are capable of becoming. There's no point in building such a toxic wall when it's shutting us out from the people that truly do love us.

Love yourself. Love others. Open yourself to it and great things will happen.
