Kara aka Supergirl, told James a very profound truth. "Accepting help is an honor." This is what she was taught on her home planet of Krypton. Her words got me thinking. It not only helped James in his dilemma in trying to be a man but it also helped me in my dilemmas of life.
Since graduation, I've wanted to be independent. At this point on my life, I thought I would have my own apartment and wouldn't need my Dad to cover anything or at least less than what's he's been doing. I'm tired of needing help or asking for it. However, I can't do life any kind of life on my own entirely. I still need others' help in order to further my career, become a better writer, understand new technology/computer programs and become a NY Times Bestseller. I will always need an editor.
Being a grown up "woman" post grad, accepting help isn't really a horrible thing I made it out to be. Though, I will never stop striving to be independent without someone carrying me. One of the reasons why I don't even want to think about getting married because I want to stand on my own. Forge my own path. Pay my own bills. Nothing wrong with that of course. On the other hand, I (we) need to understand that even being on our own we will encounter struggles. No one was made to live life alone. God himself specifically created Eve to be with Adam for companionship. Independence and knowing I will have someone I can lean on or go to for help should be the goal instead of solely facing the demons of life.
Someday my day will come full of friends I can relate to, a job I'm happy with in my career and bills paid in full ON MY OWN. :)
