You are right I think needing support is okay, as long as it doesn't become what is holding you back! tawnyahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07408106825030421819noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-630185709202996208.post-30136369386200665822015-04-11T07:57:33.062-07:002015-04-11T07:57:33.062-07:00I value my independence, too; it's really hard...I value my independence, too; it's really hard for me to ask for and accept help, even when I need it desperately, but I am getting better at it.

I also think that it is easier to achieve if you know you have a safety net, like parents or friends or someone you trust to help if things go wrong.
