Quiet-Quitting The Independent Woman Trope To Get To The Bag!
Everything we claim we want, including wealth, manifests from the right connections. Relationships are everything in this human experience.
No woman in her right mind wants to do everything herself. No woman in her right mind wants to be alone. We choose independence based on many factors, and yes, being alone for specific periods in your life might be necessary and beneficial. But the main reason for breaking your back and insisting you do it all by your lonesome for eternity lies in the trauma that results from being disappointed by others you’ve relied on to meet your needs over and over and over again.
I’ll be real: it’s downright scary to step into the unknown by telling myself the truth about my independent tendencies for the first time in my life. I have been lying to myself for so long because I thought I was the only person in my life I could rely on to meet my needs. Turns out there are people in my life who have always been more than happy to make my life easier. But I didn’t allow myself to ask for help because I was scared of being rejected. I was scared of inconveniencing them. I was scared of hearing no.
