A True House of Cards

Each card is perfectly balanced on another; just the right amount of support.

In a house of cards, each card supports another and receives support in return. If the support isn’t completely even, the house will fall.

There you have it: a bona fide support system.

Support can come in many different ways, but the most important way is being there for someone. There is no feeling worse than ending an event special to you, with no one there to congratulate you.

In a community, there are people who will bring you up, push you down, and support you throughout everything. Your job is to simply surround yourself with people who are right for you — who actually care about you and make you happy.

It’s not always easy to pinpoint these people, and sometimes you feel desperate for a friend. There are times when you just need to let go; others where you should depend. Rely. Let people help you.

If you don’t have a support system in your society there is no way progress will be made. If you aren’t comfortable, you can’t do anything.

Just lean on another card.
