Being fairly self sufficient has it's advantages.
I'm single. I support myself. I travel. I can fix certain things. Think: replace a light switch in the house. Change the light bulbs. Own an electric screwdriver. Snow shovel. Lawn mower.
The list could go on and on.
If I want something, I save my money and I go buy it. I don't get money from anyone else. I'm not very materialistic, but I do like nice things.
There are two things though, I just won't do.
a) Change a flat tire on my bike (or car for that matter)
b) Buy myself a pair of diamond earrings.
Yes, I know. I should learn how to change a flat tire on my bike. I carry an extra one with me. I just can't bring myself to learn how to change it. Yes, I know, I could it.
BUT I DO EVERYTHING.
Can't there be something where I get to be the "Damsel in Distress"? Just one thing? Okay, make it two.
Because as much as I could just go buy a pair of diamond earrings. I'm not doing that either. Someone, one day, will give them to me.
I'm holding out.
Love it....and you should hold out! Wouldn't it be wonderful to just feel rescued every once in a while? Funny thing is that when people know you can do everything....they let you. It is a blessing and a curse!
