I think it was my sister, Monica Geller, who once gave me this piece of advice: you’re a table, and you need more than one leg to stay up.
Think of all your feelings, hopes and dreams as the vase on the table, the flowers, the plate, the silverware, the arts and crafts projects, the books you want to read. Now think of the legs as your relationships. You need more than one to keep your things on the table. You can think of each leg as a group (friends, family, coworkers, acquaintances), or as individuals (your partner, your siblings, your parents, Erin, Christine, Tori Amos, Alicia Keys, Angela, etc). You could have 8 or 9 legs, or more! The point is to diversify your support system in order to be happy, so if one relationship is in trouble you have other legs to lean on.
