Safety blanket.  It's what people use when they're feeling scared, uneasy, uncomfortable, and most importantly - vulnerable.  We each have something or someone to turn to in these situations.  It - or they - provide you with a sense of security and comfort.  I don't consider myself as someone who is easily afraid or vulnerable, at least not really.  But the recent rise of insecurities that has been cast upon me has forced me to deal with and utilise what I thought was my safety blanket.  I had always thought that in a glum moment and even fear, that regardless of the time or situation, my heightened emotions could be soothed by this apparatus.  Simply put, that is not the case.  As I have always thought and believed - and even tried to change - at the end of the day, the only person I can rely on and believe to help push through anything scary is myself.  My mind is strong enough to overcome any obstacle that my thoughts introduce and it is my own duty to eradicate these fears.  

Relying on anything or anyone else is embarrassingly futile.
