When You Find It Difficult to Let People Help You

I wonder how many people are surrounded by people who would genuinely like to help them, but have become so accustomed to saying, “I’ve got it,” that nobody gets the opportunity to show up.

Perhaps receiving help is not always about being unable to do something yourself.

Sometimes, it’s about allowing someone else to be part of something you would otherwise carry alone.

Sometimes, letting someone help you is not a sign that you’re becoming less independent. It’s simply allowing a relationship to have room for you, too.
