Wander & Wonder

Today reminded me that it’s okay to need the people who love me, even at 25 years old. As a 25-year-old, I sometimes feel a pressure to do everything alone and be fully independent, as if asking for help means I’m not “adult enough.” But today, a couple of phone calls with my parents, Tony, and a close friend helped me through moments where I felt stuck and overwhelmed. Just hearing their voices and knowing they’re there for me made all the difference. So perhaps being a “true” adult isn’t about handling everything on my own, but rather about recognizing when I need support and allowing myself to accept it.
