Often I feel that the success of my life depends entirely on my own strength. I understand the importance of being independent, relying on my own abilities and decisions to navigate through life. But sometimes, in the pursuit of being 'tough', I forget the importance of socializing.

I have learned that solitude is not strength, but an unspoken struggle. When I try to tackle everything alone, I sometimes lose perspective. I begin to be too fixated on the ways I believe are right, without listening to others' perspectives.

Sometimes, in those moments of solitude, I realize how fragile I am. I long for encouragement from friends or family. I miss the voices that inspire and calm me. I miss the touches that strengthen me.

However, I also know that in those weaknesses, I find new strength. The strength to reach out, to seek connections with others. The strength to socialize.

Socializing is not a sign of weakness, but of courage. It is the first step towards a deeper understanding of the world and oneself. Socializing enables us to support each other, inspire each other, and grow together.

So, I learn not to be afraid of seeking connections. I learn to open my heart to new experiences. I learn that sometimes, in the journey towards independence, we also need others. Because sometimes, in the midst of socializing, we find unexpected strength, and therein lies true success.
