Itβs literally one of the most useful and practical skills out there. Even if itβs not your tire that needs to be swapped, you can always help someone else!
Today i got a flat tire and had to put my spare on. I pulled into a grocery store parking lot and got the job done. A few people came over to offer help, one guy had an impact drill so helped me tighten the bolts, but i felt confident that i knew what i was doing.
I donβt think most people would look at me and think βyeah i bet she can change a tire in that outfit.β but i did it. It feels good to know how to do stuff. I like being able to do silly little tasks around my apartment, or change my own oil, or make a creme brulee. Iβm learning french. I can mend my clothes. It feels like im just bragging but truly i feel so accomplished and grown up when i can fix small problems by myself.
May this be your motivation to watch a how-to YouTube video today. Or ask someone you love to teach you how to do something that might come in handy one day.
