"Oh, why you look so sad? Tears are in your eyes.
Come on and come to me now. Don't be ashamed to cry.
Let me see you through 'cause I've seen the dark side too.
When night falls on you, you don't know what to do.
Nothing you confess could make me love you less.
I'll stand by you. I'll stand by you.
Won't let nobody hurt you. I'll stand by you."
--Glee Cast "I'll Stand By You"
Dear Diary,
I've learned a lot in the past few years. I learned strength. I've learned pain. I've learned who I am. I've learned so many things, but most importantly I learned how important it is to have a support system. You need people standing behind you. People that can pick you up when you fall. People that love you despite everything.
I've always valued independence. In a way, I still do, but I've also learned that being dependent on people is okay. When I got sick, I needed everyone so much more than before. I needed extra help because I couldn't do it on my own. I still can't do it on my own, and that is okay.
It is okay to need someone.
It is okay to rely on people.
I am so lucky, diary.
I have the most amazing family anybody could ever ask for.
I have some really great friends.
Without my support system, without help from my family and friends, I'm not sure I would be here today. They give me strength. They give me a shoulder to cry on. They give me support. They lend me a listening ear when I need it, but most importantly, they give me love.
I am loved, diary.
And that right there is more than anything I could ever ask for.
Love Forever & Always,
Me
