Dear Stranger

Dear Stranger,
Stay strong until you have no other choice but to cave. That’s when you know.
This was meant to be about finding the person you love. When I read it back to myself without the context of my own previous thoughts, it sounded like someone that had reached the conclusion that they weren’t okay anymore. Spiraling in a way that’s out of their own control. They had to cave, one way or another.
How can one sentence contain the same words, yet mean such different things? One means you need help. One means you have hit rock bottom. One means you’re helpless. Unless they really are the same. They’re the same words, after all. Maybe they are the same. One is just glorified over the other, because one is worth it.
