lean on me too

If someone asks,


"What did you learn the hard way until now?"


I believe most people would say,


"You can't rely on anyone but yourself"
"In the end, you only have yourself"
"You are your own hero"


I was like that too in the past, until someone said this to me,


"You can't walk alone. And neither am I. We need each other. If you can do it all by yourself, that's great. But isn't it much better if you can do it not by yourself?"


That words made me realize.

Wouldn't it be better if you have someone you can trust, someone you can rely on, without feeling like you are burdening them?

Wouldn't it be better knowing at the end of your horrible day, you can turn to someone, you can share what you've been through that day?

Wouldn't it be better to have someone by your side? Knowing you will always have a shoulder to cry on, a pair of ears to listen to all your rants and stories, and a hand to hold you when you feel it's been too much?

My advice for you is, please rely on someone. Even when you feel you can withstand it. Even when you feel you're strong enough.

Please be indebted to someone. Please let someone know what you've been through until now. Please let someone know you're not okay and you can't stand it anymore. Please let someone hold you when you feel like breaking apart.

And please, don't let yourself walk alone on that lonely road.


In life, sometimes you become indebted to others or you inconvenience others. It happens. Everyone lives like that. Don’t suffer too much on your own.

Because in the end, what helps you overcome obstacles isn’t brains, but someone who will take your hand and never let you go.
