Why the world is better without friends.

People need to find comforters in their lives. They want to be able to warm themselves with the jubilation or companionship that surrounds them in people. However, it's not those people that produces that feeling. Blankets are not made warm by themselves. It's the heat from their own body, not the blanket itself. That's why the security of friendship is never guaranteed. That's why it's so hard to find the perfect blanket to keep all the toes, arms, and legs under it. Otherwise there's always a sense of coldness. Loneliness that creeps into them. You.  And it's that loneliness that so many seek when they want to rest. No one to worry about. No one to keep them up at night. Nothing to worry about because they have their blanket to keep them warm.

Sometimes people don't like how their blanket makes them feel. It may be the smell or there might be a stain. so, they'll wash it and get that fresh feeling when it comes out smelling like new. And too many people are blind to the fact that they've been washed and rewashed, that they've become tattered and worn down. They keep going through life doing their best to cover their bodies in the warmth of friendship instead of adding layers to themselves. Making themselves warmer instead of relying on others to do it. 

Be strong for yourself, no one else can be for very long. Blankets are not strong, they can only stretch so far. If you add layers to yourself, you'll find that less of a blanket is needed. It can be used to cover parts of you that still need it. Until, at some point, you become too warm with the layers you've added to yourself and you don't need a blanket anymore.

Then maybe you can get out of the bed and handle yourself on your own and find those that still need someone to cover for them.
