hi, here’s an over-long pinned post
John Singleton Copley, Mrs. John Winthrop (Detail), 1773
None of us are fully independent. That's why we live in a society. That's why we make friends and build communities and start families. So instead of idealizing a state of independence which not even the most abled people would actually thrive in, what about we just embrace that we all need each other to varying degrees? Because that's not a bad or shameful fact!
