Independent children grow into proud adults. And proud adults like to believe that they can take on the whole world. That they can appreciate help, but reject it. That they can be stressed out, but still get the job done. That they can love people, but keep them at arm’s length. They have a set of internal scripts memorized that repeat, “You’ve got this. You can do this. You don’t need help from anyone else.”
But those scripts are wrong. And some part of you, buried so far down inside of you that you refuse to ever give it a voice, knows that.
And since you’d rather die than admit it out loud, I’m here to say what you already know deep down, for you: You can’t do your whole life alone.
