Who and what makes up your village?

[Kazzo]

I don't think I have a village. I find it really hard to rely on anyone and ever ask or depend on anyone to help or support me I am fiercely independent. In sayng that 99% of the time I am fine with that. In saying that I have had a few occasions were I have had to open my gates up to allow help but it makes me uncomfortable and I find I can't relax.
When it comes to friends, I have a couple of good friends, none that I new from growing up though. I also have one friend that I don't get to see very often and miss dearly and I wish could be part of my village but we are at differnt stages of life and things just don't work out.
I have yet to make any friends with mums from the girls daycare, my own fault though as I don't really open up to people easily.

So I don't have a village but I have something, what that is I don't know but I know exactly why I am this way because I was not always like this. This also got confirmed for me last year when DD1 was in hospital but that is a whole other topic.
