We’d all like to think that we’re strong, that we’re capable of solving our own problems. We say to ourselves, “I can do this. I will conquer this rough patch and emerge a more confident, a more accomplished me.” Sometimes, you’re right. Sometimes, all it takes is focus, direction, and your own will to make it through. But to solve the problem, you first have to acknowledge that it exists. And sometimes, your most challenging obstacle isn’t circumstance, isn’t some external force or another person. It’s you. And in the end, most of us don’t have that strength to face that music, to admit that we’re flawed. And then, you’re stuck. You can’t save yourself if you don’t know the danger you’re in.

Cause the next time, I won’t be there anymore. Your family will always be there, but this time, I won’t be. I can’t keep on waiting to be your priority. Not anymore.
