Great write up, and thank you for sharing :) upvoted and followed.

I liked this part -

"The people that truly care about us are always more than willing to support you... but insecurity does not always encourage the confidence to ask this of them."

Yes, and it can be a compounding effect - specifically when the support needed, is for ones insecurities. I know we do wish for others to just "get it", but when those others are also dealing with the same, our mind is seldom on others.

Looking forward to more of your work :) I also write about various things - lately inspired to write poetry.
