been binge watching the show ‘alone’ recently! essentially, there are ten people dropped off in the wilderness (isolated from one another) & whoever lasts the longest wins. really, other than starvation & the elements- their biggest competition is the mental impact from isolation. people would drop out, not because they couldn’t survive- but because they didn’t want to survive without the people they care about.

the negative view of seeing our relationships as constraints rather to liberation! and why hyper independent people tend to get into codependent relationships! finding a healthy medium in community where we are both “held and free” (glennon doyle quote) :)

essentially, it’s brave to ask for help. it’s brave to reach out! & just because you can do it on your own- doesn’t mean you should. it’s brave…. to NOT pull yourself up by your own bootstraps! (haha get the doc marten reference??)
