I wasn't going to go deeper into the darkness for anybody. I was already living in the darkness. My family was my light and I was going to protect that light at all cost. That was where my dedication was, first, last and everything in-between. What did I owe the rest of the world? Nothing. Not a damn thing. Bob Dylan
About This Quote

There are things in life that should be taken care of on your own. If you are too weak to deal with it yourself, then you shouldn’t have to. We all have the same amount of time on this planet. If you are too weak to take care of your own problems, then you should not have to worry about your neighbor’s issues.

People who say they will help you should be viewed with suspicion. They may not really care about helping you. They may be looking for something in return for their help.

The only people who should be taking care of your issues are the ones that like you, like who you are and want to be there for you when you need them.
