Your Emotional Crutch

"The most important relationship you have is with yourself."

Too many have fallen into loving someone else first before themselves.

This is an emotional crutch — a Band-Aid to a problem that needs stitches.

And the fall is hard when the time comes for that crutch to depart.

You continue hide your shortcomings rather than correct what’s wrong within.

So remind yourself that no substance will get you through your pain.

It does not matter what you bear, but how you bear it.

And from personal experience — it begins with ownership.
