People...need...who else but people.

We have the ability to let others in.  Why should we want to in this day and age of individualism.  I know I'm one of those who is all about I want it my way or I can do bad all by myself.  Have you mastered the art of the realistic fake smile.  Do we even remember Whitney Huston's well belted "Don't want to be...All by myself!"  No  man or woman is an Island unto his or her self.  I don't think any of us could run a whole grocery store solo or live everyday without the need for others. Think about it having someone to share help out or even tell the truth to can be a good feeling.  The thing is these days we often wait till we are boiling over to say something.  Catch your feelings while they are small before they grow into a monster that even you don't recognize or have the ability to control.  We all need someone looking over our shoulders not just supportively but correcting when we are wrong.  Let's face it we don't have all the answers, no one dose, but two heads are always better than one.  Be open to letting people in.  Though don't forget that just as you have secrets and things that keep you from perfection so do they.  Be willing to understand and if you can't don't judge for you wouldn't want to be judged.  Not everyone is a permanent fixtures in your life and should be given the ability to fly the coup.  Sometimes you might even need to kick some people out. Though just like an apartment building needs will picked tenants so will you need well picked people around you.
