SUPPORT SYSTEMS
<p>Ever tried sitting on a broken chair? The truth is, there'll always be a chance that a slight tilt will make you reunite with the earth. I mean, you will fall down. Similarly, your consciousness of the state of the chair will be top of mind while in that seat. The same is true of a building with a faulty foundation. In fact, that's basically a trap in disguise. I've heard people discard the need to have systems in place to support you. This is the core argument of those who propose doing life alone.&nbsp;</p><p>&nbsp;This'self-made' mentality is one with hidden and harmful side effects. You need people—maybe not always, but people are a necessity for our progress. I believe in having support systems. Life can be so difficult that we break from within. We may find solace in our closet, but that may not be enough for everyone. One of the most beautiful things that can happen to anyone is having a group of people that can give them reassurance. I mean your reasons to rise. These are people who remind you that you can even when you currently can't. Now, those people are gold. In some cases, it could be just one person. Hold those people dearly. I dare say that everyone needs people like that in their lives. This doesn't mean that you should equally build your mental resilience because the stresses of life can be overwhelming.&nbsp;</p><p>Some burdens become lighter when certain people are in the room. You may genuinely keep your issues to yourself because of previous betrayals by someone you considered a rock. It's understandable, but you will have to eventually open up, but responsibly! From experience, I can boldly say that some problems shrink when you have conversations with certain people. You, too, can be part of someone's support system. Sometimes we need others to help us truly see ourselves. Our greatest resource and gift are people.</p>
