Independence

Independence is vital to my existence. Independence is my ability to stand on my own two feet. Whether I am alone or with company, I can stand tall. Not depending on any others to hold me up, I can stand on my own. I can walk, run, leap. Finally, I can live for myself. I need no crutch, no guardian, nothing to fall back on, I have myself and I am strong enough. Strong enough to not only survive but to be truly alive. Independence is inner strength. But independence isn't always there. Sometimes we need someone to depend on, but even then if we do our best and try to pull through, we have that inner strength that makes us truly independent.
