Risky business

Taking risks is hard to do. Especially when it comes to relationships. After many years of struggling with self esteem, it rears it's ugly head every once in a while and reminds me that I shouldn't take it for granted.
I have a difficult time letting my friends know that I need them for anything. I am really good at giving support, doing favors, helping out but when it comes to what they can do for me, my usual answer is " I'm okay". I know that friendship (any relationship) needs to have give and take, I really need to work on the take part. So today, I was feeling particularly in need of a friend and I received a text from my dear friend asking how I was. Instead of doing what I always do, I picked up the phone and let my friend know that I needed her. We laughed and cried a little and it was fantastic! I miss her a lot and I am so glad that we are friends.
Taking risks is hard to do, but totally worth it :)
