baby get my order right, no erras



okay confession: i'm not very good at asking for help.


i was at target the other day, and i bought two really big things. the man at the counter told me to go to the front and ask someone to help me take my purchases to the car. so i smiled and gave him a very polite "okay great! thanks so much!" while thinking to myself
"are you kidding? no way am i asking someone to help me."

so i rode on the back of my very full buggy until i made it to the car. i loaded my boxes into the back seat. drove home. and carried the boxes up to my apartment. my mom got mad at me bc i didn't tell anyone in my life that i might need help with this task.

but i got it done!
and my muscles are going to be a little bit stronger bc of it.
and so is my confidence.

closet door: 2
jordan: 0

so this is me pep-talking myself. this silly closet door is giving me so much trouble! it is so extreme that i've caught myself thinking, "why don't you just call a boy and have him come take it off?" that's a big deal...
don't worry...i haven't given in to such thoughts.

i'm going to get it. i am.
and thank you for all of your support btw :)

asking for help is way hard for me too.i'm trying to find a good balance though because asking for help lets other people in and puts us in a position to help them later. just sayin...:)

We are just alike in this way. I'd rather die than ask for help with someone I know I can do myself.
