Well here goes the story:

On Saturday night, I was out and about, going to some friends of mine, however my Jeep had other ideas and just died. No warnings, no nothing, just Kaput. so now I stuck in an unfamiliar area with no control who I interact with, as I really need help. A couple of people stopped and pushed mt truck further onto the shoulder a little more out of harms way. Ended up calling some friends I wasn't out to to help, and obviously having to out myself to them, they were accepting and that was positive up note to the whole night. I ended up waiting for a tow truck after after trying to diagnose why it had just stopped running. including a trip to a parts store, where I was Ma'amed, and ended up on the side of the road until about 1:30am. The tow truck driver came and was very nice, and I was finally on my way home.

I took a few things away with me that night, One thing was a confidence boost I actually needed. Another was I learned that a true friend will accept you for who you really are, and will not judge you on that, as well as be there for you in your time of need. It was a emotional rollercoaster for me that night, but I think more so its a life lesson I really needed.

I really like this post! Sorry you had roadside problems, but what a giant step for you. And the beautiful thing is, your life lesson just became a life lesson for everyone else, because you shared it. Thanks for posting this, hugs, Devlyn

Congratulations on managing to deal with events as they unfolded. Sometimes a little push out of your comfort zone can really be of help.

When I finally met my neighbour (who I get along with quite well) as a girl I was certainly not in my best form as I was in my 'garage clothes' and had dirt marks up my arms and a handful of suspension when he happened by. But my boobs and painted toe nails were pretty hard to hide at that point so the coming out discussion was had at that point. It all went well and afterwards I realised his acceptance was quite important to me.
