Life Lessons

For so many years,
I thought it was all about giving;
Asking for help was…
…a weakness?

life teaches you otherwise

It takes so much courage to ask for help,
and to ask again after you’ve been denied multiple times is braver still…
because it’s true that sometimes,
you can’t hold yourself up
without another’s support.

the help you receive shows that
the world is still a good place, and
when you see how kind people can be,
you’re inspired to be even more kind
