I’m just stubborn like that.

It’s no secret that I’m straight stubborn with a side of sass, or straight sass with a side of stubborn depending on the day. I always have been, and that will never change. But, on the bright side, it’s allowed me to see who is in my life for the long haul, the rough times and my weak moments.

I am fiercely independent down to my core, so asking for help is not my specialty. When I ask you for help, it’s because I’ve reached my breaking point and truly need the help. So please, don’t make me feel bad for needing it. I will never say yes to someone asking if I need help with something, but if you walk in and just starting folding my laundry, I’ll say “Thank you” with the biggest smile on my face. I’m just stubborn like that.

Asking someone to watch my kids so that I can have a much needed date night with my husband makes me physically sick to my stomach, I feel like a burden and I feel like my kids are an inconvenience to others. But in reality, my kids are such a blessing that if I ask you to watch them, it’s because I trust you and I want you to spend time with my kids. But when you tell me no, I’ll just stay home and let my husband get away for a bit because he deserves it just as much as I do and I’ll take one for the team. I’m just stubborn like that.

I will hurt myself doing something that 3 people should be doing, but you best believe I will get it done and be dang proud of myself for accomplishing it. I’m just stubborn like that.

I will try to tackle all the things, on my own, and then finally blow up when I’ve had enough of feeling like I’m the only one doing anything. It’s not my best quality, but I’m just stubborn like that.

My stubborn personality can be one of my worst qualities, but I’ll be damned if it hasn’t taken my far in life. I’ve accomplished so many things because of how stubborn I am. I have found my strength and perseverance because of it. I have make some of our dreams come true because of it.

Be proud of your stubbornness, everyone is in some way or another. It’s apart of what makes you, you! It’s both a strength and a weakness, it’s just stubborn that way.
