The thing is that I was so quickly drowning in myself, reaching out with desperate unsteady arms for someone, anyone, to collect the fractured pieces of me and put them back together. I was ignorant, because the only thing I somehow could not understand is that all I'd have done... is pull the person down with me and sink them. And I didn't realize that if you don't simply try and help yourself, try to take even baby steps in the right direction, the results are going to be far more disappointing than you may have expected.
