I’m very fortunate to have friends who remind me it’s okay to lean on other people.
They reminded me this week that it takes a tribe. To not let my pride, and my stubbornness get in the way. To ask for it when I need help.
Sometimes I need those reminders.
Sometimes we all do.
People need each other. We need people around us who we trust, and who we can rely on.
I almost feel like I was drowning in that ocean the other week only to finally hear a shouted “Hey dumbass! Look behind you!”
Dumbass being used affectionately here, of course. 😂
I feel like I turned around to see an ocean littered with buoys, and rafts, and life boats. Friends reaching out their hands, offering a drink and an ear, some giving me a look that clearly said “I’ve been telling you we were here.”
So thanks.
To my friends and family who are always there to lend an ear, to watch the kids when I can’t find a sitter, to hang out and talk and have fun, and those who remind me that it’s okay to ask for help.
❤️
Gracefully Honest
