Even the best of the best fail sometimes.

You Need People

You have to accept that some people 

are not made for deep conversations, 

or for holding you together when you’re about to fall apart, 

or for keeping you from unzipping your skin, 

or for talking you out of suicide, 

or for loving you through the worst moments. 

Some people are made for shallow exchanges, and ridiculous banter, and nothing more, and that’s okay. 

That doesn’t make them horrible people 

simply because they aren’t able to handle a storm like you. 

It doesn’t make you a bad person because you won’t divulge all the gritty details of your horror show. 

It makes you smart. 

It doesn’t mean they are not worth keeping in your life. 

You just have to figure out who these ones are before you’re disappointed, 

and you have to keep them at arm’s length. 

You cannot expect everyone in your life to understand, 

to be nonjudgmental, 

to get it. 

But that’s okay, because not everyone was made to impart wisdom, 

or wax-poetic, 

or speak on politics 

and the depravity of society, 

or discuss how crucial it is that the stigma of mental illness be abolished. 

There are times when you have to get away from all that heaviness. 

You have to. 

You will need superficial conversation about Kim Kardashian’s arse, 

or a debate on the color of The Dress to do that. 

You will need those ones, 

so don’t go round cutting people off and dropping your friends. 

You need people for all your seasons. 

You need people or you won’t survive this.
