Omg. I was having this *exact* conversation w/a friend yesterday. As someone who !hates! asking for stuff, I’m learning that being a true part of a community is not just giving. You’re also supposed to take from it + give people the opportunity to give to you.
It will always be time.
People really do make time for the things that matter to them. They make time to listen, to respond to a text, to spend with you, to make a phone call to you, to see you, to quietly understand the things you like/ don't like.
