Solitude, solicitation, survivalOne of the most well-worn sayings in the modern world is that “no man is an island.” While we are each born with different talents and affinities, possess different skills and resources, no human can be truly self-sufficient. Help from those around us – whether from those we love, or those who sympathize with us, or even those simply doing their jobs – is essential to our survival. This is one of the reasons I helped establish the Hope for Lupus Foundation. But to do this, to help others, we will continue to ask for help ourselves. And I never would have been able to do that, never would have been able to survive, without being able to ask for help.
