Thanks, but no thanks

I feel that only noteworthy events qualify for blogging. Therefore as you can tell I have something worth writing down! Recently I’ve been put into a situation I hate. Nine years four months and twenty four days ago I was convinced not to count on anyone, not to ask for anyone’s’ help and to not trust most people. Somehow between then and now I forgot this small bit of knowledge I once had and now I feel stupid. Sure it may not be nearly as dramatic as I’m making it seem, but I had to ask for help. Something I absolutely hate doing, but I swallowed my ego and did it. I actually asked several people to help me, and the funny part is: No one would. I do understand that some people couldn’t and to them I am thankful for just being honest but those that could wouldn’t do it. And I know I shouldn’t complain about it, but it bothers me so much because I honestly never ask for anything. Ever. Ask anyone they’ll tell you. I do not ask for favors, presents or help. It’s just not in my genes. So to those that have listened to me complain for the past… well probably three weeks thank you, and to those that could not or would not help: I did it without you. I didn’t have to embarrass myself and ask after all. I found a way to get around all of it and did it. So thank you for reminding me of lessons learned long ago: When life gives you lemons; make lemonade. By yourself and there is no such thing as too much. The sun always comes out and calls for a nice tall glass.
