You're exhausted from carrying everyone's emotions and wondering when someone will hold space for yours. You've mastered the art of being strong for others, reading the room, offering wisdom, and holding space. But beneath that strength is a quiet fatigue, a longing to be seen without needing to explain, fix, or perform.
