reflections

It was, perhaps, an oversight on my part in readily believing that the company of people cannot provide me, in some way, comfort. There's something about friends that I can't quite pinpoint, that makes you feel safe and keeps your mind healthy. Perhaps it's the sound of their voices and idle chatter that lures my overactive mind away from recurring thoughts and unwanted emotions. Yet this notion of continual gatherings does not square with the concept of independence that I've always believed in being able to survive in solitude. A balance must be struck? While no one is truly dependable, no man is an island either.
