you can't help others until you can help yourself right? wrong. we touch other people's lives and say the things we believe need to be said or do the things we think need to be done. for that person it may be the best advice ever. but when it's time to implement that same advice it's the hardest step you'll ever have to take because you know you were right- it's just so hard to do and most of the time you need that crutch. i'm a big advocate of self-reliance, and i know it's so much easier to say than do and to look from the outside and see exactly what needs to happen. but this step- i don't know how i'm going to make it. i was running and then i took off and flew; now that my wings are shot and my momentum is lost i've forgotten how to get it back yet i can be the rock for someone else when all i am is sand.
