Help is GOOD

Most of the time we know what we need to do. We know the right choices. We know what is best for us. Yet we continue to fuck up. We keep on doing things that we know are stupid. We are constantly hurting ourselves. Why? Why do we choose to make careless decisions? We know what the outcome is. We always do. Sometimes we choose to ignore it. Sometimes we choose not to dig deep enough into our minds to find it. Sometimes we hear our conscience and we scream, “Go fuck yourself!” when all it’s trying to do is look out for us. We’re so stubborn and “proud” that we think we can do everything ourselves. We don’t need anybody. Well if we try to do everything on our own, it will bite us in the ass eventually--and we would have pushed away everyone that actually gave a shit. Then all we’re left with is ourselves. Too late we realize that it’s not all that fun being alone, and it certainly isn’t easy.

It's foolish not to seek help. You will get in over your head eventually. Asking for help means that you are smart enough to realize that you cannot carry the whole load by yourself or it will hurt you. Doing something as simple as talking to someone is helpful.

We become bitter and resentful towards people because they don't offer to help us. We cannot expect people to read our minds. Since when is asking for help considered a weakness? I used to think it was. I used to think that if I were strong enough, I could handle everything myself. Then I realized that I was just being stupid. Sometimes life can become too much for one person to handle by themselves; as if they were carrying a pile of stones and life just keeps adding more and more to the pile. So much so that the person collapses--not because they gave up, but because humans can only handle so much.

Everybody needs help sometimes. Don't be stupid--ask for it.
