have you ever cried in a target parking lot?

crying in my car that day felt like failure at first. but looking back, it was the first moment of honesty i’d had in months. burnout doesn’t always announce itself dramatically... sometimes it shows up as numbness, fatigue, or even irritation at simple things. i had been functioning on autopilot for so long that i forgot what being human felt like. the parking lot tears were embarrassing, but they also became sacred. they reminded me that i don’t have to earn rest or deserve softness. life isn’t about keeping it all together, it’s about learning when to let go. if you’ve ever found yourself crying in a random parking lot, you’re not alone. sometimes that’s where healing begins.
