Oh how the road/the months I spent living with two of my greatest friends has taught me how to be humble and allow myself to be served.

As a person that has been taking care of myself for around 5.8472 years now, I find great difficulty in opening myself up to this act of humility. I have frequently turned down the help and continued to let my pride build into a vicious monster that is afraid of humility and vulnerability. This struggle has taught me that my need for love and affection is far greater than what a platonic relationship can provide. The need for community is far greater than a surface level friendship.

My stern pride continues to be met with the grace of hospitality.
It's far easier to give than to receive.
