Sometimes I become so focused on being responsible for carrying my own load, to not inconvenience others by their needing to stop and relieve me, that I have become guilty of trying to hide when I am having a difficult time.

It would do for me to remember that help, support and encourage can come freely without others needing to take up my load. Sometimes all a problem needs is a fresh set of eyes.

Sometimes the cart must be adjusted, unloaded, repaired, but maybe that is another story for another day.

Don’t be afraid to let those who are important to you know how you feel! A little appreciation can go further than you’d think. 

Welcome back, @ask-tay-relic​ !

A waitress, a therapist and a farmer walk into a bar.

Wait, it was a cafe? What’s the difference?

But the bar serves coffee and tea, too miss? I suppose it doesn’t have those little strawberry tartlets that you and your sister have, nor...

The location doesn’t matter?

Alright, miss, I’ll start again.

A waitress, a therapist and a farmer walk into a cafe, and... wait a moment, but do their professions matter also if the location does not? And surely there’s something more substantial to a person’s character than their profession?

The professions don’t matter either? Only the size of the coffee cup? Alright.

A waitress, a therapist, and a...

Wait, the coffee cup was the punchline? Did I tell the story in the wrong order again miss?

Why are you looking at me like that?

Sometimes it can be difficult to ask for help, especially when one feels as if one can get by on their own. But perhaps it is important to practice things that which are difficult when one is able, rather than to wait until one is not~

I would not be where I am today without the love and support of those around me - lights to guide my path ahead, and shadows to guard my back. Those dearest to me have been there for me whether I liked it or not, and to all of them I am eternally grateful~

I ask only for the opportunity to help back in kind somehow~
