It is life, more than death, that has no limits.

It turns out they didn’t care at all about the extended deadline, just that I was trying and that I gave them a heads up when I needed help.

Remember to ask for help when you need it, even if it makes you feel a little silly. Ask early if you can so that the people you’re asking have time to think about a response/plan of action, but if you find yourself stressing out 24hours out from a deadline still just ask.

This has been one of the hardest and most important things I have learnt over the last 10 years.

Ask for help. Ask early. Even if it’s scary.

You are not a burden.

You are not dumb.

You are not expected to already just “know” everything.

“Ask for help.”

“Ask early.”

“Even if it’s scary.”

And finally, and perhaps most importantly…

Psycho, The Texas Chainsaw Massacre, Silence of the Lambs, and American Horror Story all have characters that were based on serial killer Ed Gein, who was so devastated by his mother’s death that he began to make a ‘woman suit’ so he could “become her and literally crawl into her skin.”
