Hey darling,
I’ve been thinking a lot about what it’s like to be the person everyone leans on, the one who listens, helps, and always finds the right words, even when your own heart feels tired.
I carried people’s stories, their pain, their worries. I was proud to be that safe space. But I didn’t notice how heavy it had become.
These days, I’ve learned to care deeply without carrying it all.
That I can love people without losing myself.
That saying no isn’t rejection, it’s my protection.
If this speaks to something inside you, I wrote more about it on the blog: how I’m learning to rest without guilt and what that looks like in real life.
