a toast..

Let's raise our glasses and give a toast to the things we can live without! We come into the world dependent upon the ones who gave us life yet never realizing our survival is actually dependent upon ourselves. We are the only ones that can provide us with the strength to breathe and to live. Shamelessly we are in search of answers and people to fill this void in our hearts however the truth is we are the only ones who can fill that hole. The difference between "alone" and "lonely" is minimal in the definitions of the words but is great in the meaning of life. Lonely is a feeling we usually get yet alone is how we were born into this world. Alone is what we will always be at one point or another in our life. But the toast is for when we can happily live with this fact. We eventually will learn to let others walk into our lives without letting them take over our well-being. Dependence must be upon ourselves as we are the only ones that can guarantee to always be there every time.
