Saving you Saving me

Im starting to realize that many people out there who go for those who are broken or unavailable do so because they themselves are broken and unavailable. Sometimes its easier to save someone else than it is to save yourself because you dont have to confront your own issues. But eventually your own problems will always get mixed in and then you are just two people who are not just one degree of separation apart, but two, if that makes any sense. We all have issues though, some worse than others. For the most part i havent run into anyone or any situations where the issues are extremely bad and cant just be fixed. Again though, its as if we are all trying to save other people thinking this will make us happy. But its just like in lifeguarding is you try to save a drowning person and you appraoch the sitaution unprepared you will both drown.
