Asking for Help is Okay

I never wanted to admit that I needed help. I didn’t know it was okay to say. I tried many years to deal with the dark days of my life both presently and in the past on my own. Those days I didn’t want to get out of bed, the days I avoided leaving the house if possible, the days where I felt lonely…pushing away the people who loved me because I believed they didn’t. Instead I sought out relationships that were fleeting and built on unhealthy ideals. I wanted love. I just didn’t know what love really was. It wasn’t until I opened the door and let the sunshine in that I began to understand that the people who loved me had always been right in front of my eyes.
