For the entire life, you’ve existed within your bubble.

You have come across people in multiple walks of your life, yet your bubble remained a comfortable refuge for you. Because maybe, you were too scared to venture into someone else’s bubble just to peek what it’s like in there. Or maybe you tried a few times out of your desire to fit in, but things turned out so horribly that you lost all the hope of ever blending in and trying to care for others' bubbles but your own. Or maybe you feel like there’s no one out there with a bubble just right for you, or yours right for them.

Yet, you can only truly grow when you’re with others.

For when you’re with yourself, everything is all in your head. You are your own muse; your own admirer, critic, and believer. You don’t feel the need to have anyone else matter to you. You’ve surrounded yourself with your own self-grandeur that nothing outside can shake the little palace of yours.

So you sit, watching the world outside your bubble — quietly from the outside, but on the inside, you’ve got a whole universe of turmoil; the black hole at the center roaring so loud and eating everything into oblivion. Your head might explode anytime soon. And it did, several times in the past, scattering debris for no soul to notice — because you were inside your bubble all this time.

But when you finally blend your little bubble with that of others, you will begin to feel a different life growing. The self that you’ve surrounded yourself with will suddenly seem like an illusion you’ve convinced yourself to believe. You begin to see a new perspective of life and the world through the eyes of yourself and the people around you. The failures you’ve endured for so long will guide you into new learning paths you hadn’t realized. You will give yourself and them a chance to know and grow with each other. The growth you’ve been waiting to happen will only happen when you’re with others.

So why not build up a little courage from the ashes of lost hope and broken trust — just enough to walk to someone else’s bubble? What if your purpose isn’t to give it all up but to die trying? What if growing with good people isn’t the luck waiting to happen but the opportunity you didn’t take?

You can only grow when you’re with others.
All you need is a small poke into your bubble to burst open all your complexities — and you feel alive for the first time.
