Alone

As much as we hope, wish, want.... for someone to save us and magically make this go away...

(and i am not discounting the role of help-seeking in this post)

Ultimately this is a journey that calls upon us to find our own voice, our own strength, and indeed finding our own selves and our separate identities. Many of us don't even know who we are or where we are going in life. It is a lonely journey and there are times when we have to take it alone and we have to be able to take it alone. And being able to do that is part of the growing process and the building process and becoming a stronger person. In dark hours....we have to be able to find our way alone.

Sigh.
