See through the layers

cause not many people have been able to.

I guess it's somewhat of a classic story line. Female "heroine" that finally meets someone to be her hero, so that when they're alone she no longer has to maintain her tough personna. She can exprience being rescued for a change. There's someone to show her vulnerabilities to, someone to understand how she thinks, someone to appreciate everything she's done cause they have been there or at least heard of all the late nights, early mornings, cuts and bruises that she has endured along the way.

So hear it from someone that's been there. Surround yourself with people that you're "somebody" to, where you're irreplaceable, where it would matter whether you were around or not. Take pride and joy in being a part of something, but when you realize that the show goes on, that the next person is ready to step up to the plate to bat if you don't, that you're just a small pixel on a larger cavas you'll be greatly comforted to be able to humbly turn and still see those things and people that always mattered (provided that you were able to keep that healthy balance all along).
