In life, everybody needs somebody. Whether that would be your best friend, your boyfriend, or girlfriend, a teammate, everyone needs one person to count on.

Life is tough, and no one should have to go through it alone. Each person has a different story, and their stories will give them things that will to them, seem impossible to go through. No matter what the case, it isn't easy to go through anything alone, and these people are there in your life to make it that much easier for you.

These people show you the sunshine in your ever so cloudy days. They remind you constantly that you need to lean on them when your times are hard, and when you seem to be lost, they are there to show you the way. You may tell them you feel like a bother involving them in your problems, but to them, they don't seem to mind. They want nothing more than to be able to help you, because for whatever reason or reasons, they really care about you. You need to realize that you cannot get through some of the hardships life throws at you alone. It just isn't feasible. You need to be able to count on someone, and you may get confused along the way, you may think that a close friend is going to be your somebody, just to find out they never really cared too much anyway. Yet, right when you notice that, it'll seem like the person who is your somebody, was helping you all along, and was in your life already, and you just failed to realize it. When you find your someone, it is a glorious thing, and I mean it. This person will provide you with a judgement-free zone, and a place where venting is completely allowed, and they support you through all your decisions.

You'll spend a great deal of time with your somebody, but that's because as you get to be with them, you're secretly deciding if they're worthy of knowing the truths about your life, but once they become your somebody, they'll always hold that position, even if they move 1,400 miles away. Perhaps something like that occurs, and you'll begin to realize you are talking to this person less and less, one of two things will happen. You will need them and they'll still be there for you just like they always were, or they'll leave you in the dust. In that case, they were never your person anyway.

You may have more than one person like this in your life, and you may tell certain people certain things. Yet, if that's the case, you haven't found your someone yet. And that is completely okay. You still need to have people in your life that you can vent and tell things to, but here's the thing, when you have more than one person, that means you're holding something back. When you only have one person, there's no stopping yourself from the things you may not want to speak about, you tell them everything, and in full confidence.

Now, you may just think that you rely on someone, but guess what, as you continue to grow and further on in your life, you'll begin to realize you are that person for someone else. Someone, relies on you, whether you know it or not, you may not have even completely embraced this role, but when you realize it, you will. It may be for the person who's your someone. It could be someone younger than you, who may look up to you. It could be anyone in your life, and I mean anyone.

You have to learn how to handle being someone's person, it can be hard some days. They may bring problems to you that aren't so easy to help with. But they rely on you to listen, provide support, and be consistent in their lives -- because nothing's worse than when you depend on someone and they are in and out of your life. When someone decides to trust you with all they have, you have to stay there, and you have to be the one to show them the way.
