Once you grow past Mommy and Daddy coming running when you're hurt, you're really on your own. You're alone, and there's no one to help you.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I always knew there wasn't going to be anybody to help me and emotionally support me, that whatever I did I'd have to do on my own.
In a household tragedy, you are very much aware of being alone. It is something that is possible to grasp, and that is why it hurts so much. Because you are alone. I know a little about this.
Truth is everybody is going to hurt you: you just gotta find the ones worth suffering for.
This is something caregivers have to understand: You have to ask for help. You have to realize that you deserve to ask for help. Because you need to keep on working on your own life.
Running alone is the toughest. You get to the point where you have to keep pushing yourself.
I understand and get when kids and teenagers feel like they're alone and it's not going to get better. My advice is that there is a support system out there, there are a lot of people who have been through what you're going through and are going through it now.
When you have adversity and you have pain, you never feel more alone than you do at that moment. And you can be surrounded by hundreds of thousands of people.
We're born alone. We do need each other. It's lonely to really effectively live your life, and anyone you can get help from or give help to; that's part of your obligation.
We are all somebody's children, and when we're in pain, we regress, instinctively looking to our parents to make everything better.
You are never strong enough that you don't need help.
