how is one independent? now that I am.. "independent" i am still very so dependent on factors in my life to give me that "independence"


..it really is just a shift from what you're dependent on, there should be no shame in dependancey. in fact, most people pride themselves on being dependable. So if it is a treasure of a characteristic then why be so ashamed to depend on a dependable person or thing?




and alas, one of my favorite quotes, from one of my favorite movies....
"This is just a bit of silliness, really"
