WATERTIGHT

WATERTIGHT

John Green once said, "Each of us starts out as a watertight vessel. And these things happen - these people leave us, or don't love us, or don't get us, or we don't get them, and we lose and fail and hurt one another. And the vessel starts to crack open in places ...Once the vessel cracks open, the end becomes inevitable... But there is all this time between when the cracks start to open up and when we finally fall apart. And it is only in that time that we can see one another, because we see out of ourselves through our cracks and into others through theirs."

There are times we need to be all by ourselves, times we need to keep everything that happens to us with us and us alone, and there are times we have to let people know what is happening with us. There is no one way to doing things in life, wisdom is needed to do everything we want to do at any time, and we must be careful of our approach to different situations.

Life is not always about what we want, what we know, and where we want to be; sometimes, life is about how long we can hold on to who we are, how much we can endure what happens to us, and how well we can handle difficulties. As much as we need to seek help from those who can help us, we sometimes need to dig deep into ourselves to find solutions to our problems and challenges.

Keep yourself from the unnecessary intrusion, learn to keep to yourself when you have to, and when to open up to people who can help you when the need arises. Be wise.
