Asking for help is you breaking generational timelines

When you ask for help, you are breaking a cycle many of us were taught to carry in silence. Generationally, families often passed down survival tactics that said: “Don’t burden anyone with your problems. Stay strong. Figure it out alone.” Not to mention when you did try to ask –

Particularly for some family , others spouses / partners who are not for you but that’s the lesson in all of this. You were met with disappointment. Shut down & made to figure it out alone which creates a thread of harsh beliefs & self destructive behavior

We saw the friendships tooo! All in all sometimes we are in these connections to realize some people benefit from your struggle, from you not wanting to grow . From you stay stuck. Some don’t like that you want to do things neither. However for you , you need to be mindful to not prove yourself to people who already feel like a disappointment in their lives. It’s not always noticeable but usually when you observe you can see it in how they treat themsleves, how they talk, how they move, who they entertain, what they don’t do. You get it

Oh yes. It makes you hyper interdependent & also it makes you rush. It makes you neglect yourself because now you’re in survival. It makes you think people who want to help you have motives. We can understand that

However the next few months are going to be crucial starting now if you haven’t noticed where you will need help but it’s not just * money * I saw it’s emotional, mental & spiritual

This is going to be new but it’s also going to trigger because what’s emotional help? Spiritual ? Mental? That’s what you have to learn . You have to be bold enough to put yourself in environments where people are just smoking , drinking , gossiping , being hoes , Feeling bad for themselves . You’re learning that being someone of strength isn’t suffering in silence , you’re learning that your power is in your voice & knowing

“ we are not made to do everything alone!” And you will not be made fun of because of it

I’ve done it before. No worries I asked for help and got it from the right people. People who donated . People who said hey I’ll get it for you! It wasn’t family . Yup it wasn’t

I’ve also put myself into , some dynamics where I went to puppy yoga, I went to an art festival & made friends. I went to a cafe and made more friends. I put myself in positions where theirs people like me who are already showing up!

I even did the events where I’m like - if people want help, have fun, but get soul nourishment they will try.


By asking for help, you’re rewriting a story that says you have to carry it all by yourself. You’re saying: “I don’t have to keep repeating the patterns of isolation, pride, or silence that were handed to me.”

Pride kills more dreams & connections more than anything .

It’s brave to admit, “I can’t do this alone.” It takes courage to let yourself be supported when generations before you had to suffer in silence.

Some of your ancestors have died and became not only mentally ill but physically not getting help. Most working their lives away not being able to enjoy it . You may not know that but again in a medium. they are here

Every time you reach out • whether it’s for emotional support, guidance, or even just to say, “I need someone to hear me” you are creating a new pattern. One that allows connection, healing, and community to take the place of secrecy, shame, and struggle

You’re not just asking for help for yourself • you’re teaching the ones who come after you that it’s safe to lean, to share, and to heal together. That’s building generational wealth in a society that oppresses - OOP! Ahhahahaha
