Fighting Quicksand

As I'm currently applying for colleges, I'm starting to realize things. We would all love to have this process be as easy as singing a song on stage one time and becoming a singer. Or perhaps painting a picture and becoming a famous artist? Well that's definitely not the case. I have friends and family to support and help me along the way, but it is essentially me that's going to have to take initiative and work for it. Me who's going to make the change. We all need to stand on our own two feet and overcome our problems. The people we rely on are here right now, but the sad truth of the matter is that they won't always be around here forever. These people will give you something to learn but learning to be independent will help the most in the long run. I've seen way too many times where people end up helpless in a time of need because they have used others as a crutch through life. This makes me feel bad for them because each person has the potential to be independent, but it just depends whether we grow to it or not.
