Theme: Struggles of dealing with emotional burdens and the reassurance that it’s okay to not always be okay.
Some days, you wake up and the world feels heavier than it should. The air is thick, the light too sharp, the silence too loud. You move through the motions—get up, get dressed, smile when needed—but inside, something feels off. Like you're carrying a weight no one else can see.
And maybe that’s okay.
Maybe it’s okay to wake up and not have the energy to be who the world expects you to be. To sit in the quiet and let yourself feel without rushing to fix it. To admit that, sometimes, being human is exhausting.
Because healing isn’t a race. Growth isn’t always loud. Sometimes, it’s the quiet acceptance that you’re doing your best, even if your best looks different today than it did yesterday.
So rest if you need to. Break if you must. Let the weight sit beside you for a while. But don’t believe the lie that you are less because you feel too much.
You are not broken. You are not failing. You are simply being.
And that is enough.
