Traumatic Experiences Community Daily Check-In Friday 31st August 2018
Wow, can you believe its already the last day of August? Im sitting up at 1am realizing this is my only time to write the check-in (I am currently Couchsurfing, and my hosts have kept me up late!) because I am likely going to be spending all of tomorrow morning taking out the thermostat from my car / troubleshooting / installing a new gasket if we break the gasket in the process. My engine has been running hot for a mystery reason (I have a new radiator, a new radiator fan, just had a coolant flush, the oil was just changed, no fuses are blown, and nothing is leaking!) and I have to cross the Rockies tomorrow - so Ive got to fix it beforehand!
When you are traveling, things never go entirely as planned. Ive learned this on my 5 road trips across the U.S. Each trip I make, Ive noticed I know more about how my car works because I learn as I go, and I notice I always happen to run into exactly the help I need. For instance: my new roommate is a mechanic, so he has been giving me advice, and the person I am Couchsurfing with tonight just happens to know how to take out a thermostat! He is going to help me with it tomorrow morning.
I am wondering for todays check-in what your thoughts are on what we have our eyes open to in life and what we are on the lookout for. Do you find that your eyes are open to see help that is offered you right when you need it? Do you find it difficult to trust certain kinds of help in particular? As always, share a little, or share a lot♥️

I never really know when or how to ask for help. I always hid injuries since I was young. I figured things get done more efficiently if I just do it myself. Maybe I don't know when I'm trusting the wrong people. I trust over time no matter what I guess. My eyes are open but I don't see danger in anyone or I see danger everywhere sometimes.
