Often it can be tempting to let others help you when you have something big happening in your life. And yes, it's good not being too proud and accepting the help that's being offered.
But sometimes we want to do it alone. It's not necessarily because we are too proud to ask for help, or because we want to show off and prove that we're not too stupid for this.
I want to do some things on my own simply because I can.
I get a huge kick out of being able to do something without any help, whether it's paying the bills, buying something I need that's out of my price range, running errands I used to need my mom for, traveling solo, anything. It's sort of reassuring, if you know what I mean.
It makes me feel like an adult, even though I'm really not one.
It makes me feel like I can handle anything life throws at me.
Does this sound crazy?
I don't remember if I told you, but I applied to a few schools a while back.
Today I received my third invitation to an entrance exam.
I have absolutely no idea what's going to happen, whether I'll get in or not. I'm prepared for any option, and life will go on never the less.
It's funny, though, how just an invitation to an entrance exam can make me feel accomplished.
It's trying.
