The Dark Truth

I'm going to start this posting with
Universal Truth Twenty Seven

We are, each of us, a little broken.

Sounds too dark and morose? Either man up, princess, or stop reading.
I'm in no mood to sugar coat this truth.

Life is a bumpy ride, and at times the people around us are none too gentle. The way they treat us impacts who we are and how we will interact with others in the future.
For most people and most situations it simply means that they need to piece themselves together, repair said damage, and move on.
It's a dark and morose fact of life; we fix ourselves because we're broken, and cannot continue the way we are. We can't depend on other people to fix the damage that's been done.

My musing from this universal truth is one that continues still today. What do we do when we're broken, and can't seem to fix ourselves?
What do we do with our dysfunctions and fears?
Is the girl who's afraid of relationships supposed to cut them out of her life?
If a guy can't seem to trust, is his only option to stop trusting altogether?
When the damage done seems too deep and beyond repair, what are any of us supposed to do?

Hou didn't come to any conclusions. You just asked depressing questions. WTH! I demand another post with the answers to those questions. Thank-you.

Nice post actually. I advice to keep it at a poetic note if you're going to go the "depressing questions" style.

My answer; don't panic :)
