All you have to do is ask

My mom told me that when I was little. Hell, she still tells me it now.  I say it to others. All you have to do is ask. The worst they can say is no. Very true words.

It's funny. No matter how true I know those words are, I struggle with asking people for favors. I get worried I'm bugging the perso or being a nuisance. Instead, if I need a favor I'll send out a impersonal tweet and ask for help. If I'm lucky maybe one or two people will answer, but I don't get nearly the amount of help I need. That's why when I came up with the idea of Written Confessions, I vowed to ask people. I would tweet, message and bug. I wouldn't feel like I'm being a bother.

And guess what. It worked!

It makes me feel empowered. I can ask people for a favor and they will say yes! I'm not bugging anyone. I need to do this more. For so long I've held myself back because I don't want to be a bother to people. I was hindering myself over an imagined problem.
